The Coalition’s new immigration ­policy targets migrants who quietly hate our freedoms

The Coalition’s new immigration ­policy targets migrants who quietly hate our freedoms. By Geoff Chambers in The Australian.

On Tuesday the Opposition Leader will unveil the first phase of the Coalition’s immigration ­policy and declare that those who migrate from liberal ­democracies have a “greater likelihood of ­subscribing to Australian values compared to those ­migrating from places ruled by fundament­alists, extremists and dictators”.

The Coalition’s hardline immigration crackdown, which outlines sweeping visa and rule changes to defend Australian values and slash record migration levels under the Albanese government, would ­deport overstayers abusing the legal system, restore ­temporary protection visas and weed out ­foreign agents pretending to be students and migrant workers.

Mr Taylor will lament that Australia has accepted migrants who don’t believe in equal rights for men and women, don’t believe in the rule of law and want to establish parallel legal systems, and “don’t believe in freedom of speech, association and religion”.

Speaking at the Menzies Research Centre in Sydney, the Liberal leader will warn that “our door has also been opened to people who, while rejecting hate and ­violence, nevertheless still reject our core values”.

“For too long, we’ve turned a blind eye to a reality of immigration and integration: Those who migrate from liberal democracies have a greater likelihood of subscribing to Australian values compared to those migrating from places ruled by fundamentalists, extremists, and dictators,” Mr Taylor will say.

“In that vein, the cohort of ­Gazans let into Australia following the October 7 attacks present a clear risk to our country. They come to our country from a society run by the barbaric Islamist terrorist organisation of Hamas. That cohort must be reassessed entirely with far greater scrutiny.” …

“Not everyone wanting to ­migrate to Australia has a noble ­intent,” he will says. “Not everyone wanting to migrate to Australia will be a net benefit to Australia; indeed, many will be a net drain. Not everyone wanting to migrate to Australia will integrate or assimilate.

“Just as energy policy under Labor is dominated by the ­ideology of net zero, immigration policy under Labor is dominated by the ideology of cultural relativism. For Labor, all immigration is good immigration.

“But that’s simply not true. It’s not what Australians are seeing with their own eyes. And Australians are fed up with politically correct preaching on immigration.”

Anyone can crack that code. This policy spells out the objections to Muslims who have no intention of assimilating or adopting our values. If carried through, it will stop the Islamic colonization of Australia. No more Bondis, Lindt Cafes, etc..

But of course it must be more than another checkbox on an immigration form. That’s where’s where the rubber meets the road, where the necessary discrimination occurs, in deciding who to invite into our society.

The policy spells out immigration criteria using principles, keeping it at the level of individuals rather than group identity. The right way to do it, but relatively difficult — discriminating on the basis of group membership is so much easier.

Let’s have an immigration target too. Maybe < 50,000 for the next three years? To make up for the 2 million under Albanese.
