This is a Minister who is purposeful delaying family reunion visas, denying refugees protection and scapegoating migrants for issues his Government created. It is not surprise Labor is in a race to the bottom on immigration, but it is toxic politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
Labor was poised to reveal massive migration cuts, then suddenly delayed
The ABC understands the cuts to migration numbers are contentious within Labor, but no reason for the delay is given.

And the ALP are intent on pushing more of their long term voters - those who care about humanity, the poor, the persecuted, away. Always seeking the right wing vote because that's where the big $$ are. #auspol

They’re using AI to justify slashing and offshoring even more Australian jobs and the Government is standing by and watching it happen. Ask yourself who profits from this? We need a system that delivers for the 99% who need jobs not the 1% who live off profits.
The story here is not so much that some Labor MPs are going harder on #gambling reforms, but that they are doing so publicly. Hopefully, more will show spine, and the "discipline" that Albanese imposes on caucus [aka coercive control] will crumble. #auspol

Under Labor almost 5,000 elderly people died in 2025 waiting for S@H funding. Explain why Labor doesn't release S@H funding as soon as a person has been assessed for a certain level of support? Why would Labor sit back and let that happen to those in the last stages of their lives? #auspol

Note this puts Pauline Hanson squarely in pro Israel Islamophobia Network territory. Rebel Media’s Ezra Levant trained “Tommy Robinson” from all purpose bigot to pro-Israel bigot pre pre 2009. Linked American pro Israel actors founded & funded his English Defence League from there. #Auspol

Labor and the Coalition’s disgusting and cruel bipartisan approach to people seeking safety is now inspiring the UK far right, as it does Trump. A shameful legacy we need to dismantle.

They say they want the truth for this Royal Commission then they block a key witness, who is critical of ASIO, from returning to the country to give evidence. Always best to watch what they do, not what they say.
