Coalition's Controversial Immigration Plan Faces Backlash
Labor accuses Coalition of chasing One Nation voters with new hardline immigration policy, as cricketers call it 'appalling' and discriminatory
The Coalition's proposed changes to Australia's immigration system have sparked fierce backlash, with Labor warning the plan would fundamentally change the character of the nation. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has lashed out at the new hardline policy unveiled by Angus Taylor, accusing the Coalition of chasing voters who are moving to Pauline Hanson's One Nation.
Under the Coalition's plan, the government would favor immigration from liberal democracies, a move that critics say would discriminate against certain groups, particularly Muslims. Prominent figures like Usman Khawaja, a renowned Australian cricketer, have spoken out against the policy, describing it as 'appalling'.
