That present process deals in a very fair but not always particularly efficient way with asylum claims that are not pursued by the applicants. The Act requires quite properly that each applicant be called to interview as part of the process of investigation. Each interview has a number of overheads as well as the commissioner's authorised officer who has spent a considerable amount of time preparing for the interview by examining the file and carrying out necessary country of origin research. In other words, if a person says that they are from, for example, Nigeria or Somalia, the officer dealing with the case has to read up on the political situation in the country concerned or whatever form of persecution is suggested and be well-informed so that he or she can ask intelligent questions and can understand the answers and put them in context.
