Media Release: Labor hiding plans for another MILLION Migrants.
Labor is trying to sell Australians a migration crackdown while its own Budget forecasts nearly another million people through net overseas migration over the next four years.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson accused Tony Burke of using political accounting tricks to look tough on immigration while cramming in even more migrants.
“Tony Burke remains the Minister for Mass Migration. Labor is trying to sell Australians a migration crackdown. But it’s just another Labor lie. Their own budget shows that they plan to bring in another million people over the next four years.”
“That’s on top of the more than 1.5 million people they have crammed in since taking office. That’s larger than the population of Adelaide.
“And given they have never hit a single migration target, even after moving the goalposts, you cannot trust this Labor government on immigration.
“Having flooded the country, they have also shown they are willing to throw regional Australia under the bus by starving them of labour and tourists in their desperate attempt to look like they are in control.
“The government would rather destroy industries in regional Australia than face the problem of unskilled arrivals and students head on.
“The Prime Minister’s $6 million golf course rort and these migration cuts say everything about Labor’s mindset. They will protect safe Labor seats and destroy the regional electorates they never expect to win. They will always look after their elite university mates over Australia’s farmers and regions.
“Australians now have a clear choice. Labor will bring in another million migrants over the next four years. One Nation will tackle mass migration head on and return the number of temporary migrants back to 2017 levels.”
