Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:
The article's claim about an unprecedented backlog is partially supported, but the context and implications require further scrutiny. The article exhibits a moderate bias by focusing on the challenges faced by the government without providing equal attention to the asylum seekers' perspectives. The accuracy is mixed due to the lack of specific data and reliance on broad statements.
