‘Divisive’ coalition blamed for scapegoating migrants
The opposition was accused of offering an angry of immigrants’ lack of transparency, while violent, anti -immigration protests were accused of fueling.
On Sunday, tens of thousands of protesters walked at rallies in the big cities of Australia and called on the federal government to pause or slow the speed of migration.
The marches attended by the Neo-Nazis were the subject of two-party condemnation.
However, on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Penny Wong targeted the coalition, saying that immigrants played a role in their accusation for long -standing problems.
“This is an old liberal tactic, we know well… Using immigrants as a scapegoat for a housing crisis chaired by the liberal party,” he said.
“The liberals are very busy looking for someone to be blamed, and forgot that the majority of Australians rejected separatist tactics in the last election.
“The Australians know that we are the most powerful as a nation when we stand together, build each other, tear each other.”
However, according to the former Deputy Secretary of Immigration, Avul Rizvi, the Federal government’s way to reveal a new immigration limit showed how the worker accidentally confused the anxious Australians.
“The government is not transparent enough about what their long -term plans are for migration,” AAP said.
“The government actually stopped explaining what he was doing.”
For 2025/26, the permanent migration program was purchased at 185,000, the same as the previous financial year.
However, a three -sentence government press release contained little detail about talented or common visas, which made Dr Rizvi impossible to say what to do about the exploding demand in these areas.
Opposition leader Sussan Ley, the last immigrant goal is still very high, but the problem is not about the immigrants, he said.
“It’s about doing the balance right, N Nine’s said to the Today program.
Senator Wong celebrated the country’s multiculturalism, as he faced the court accused of finding domestic camp sovereignty on Sunday after the well-known Neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell rally.
“Neo-Nazis and anti-immigration rallies are not who we are. These are not Australian values,” he said.
“We are a nation that meets different races, different beliefs and different views, and we unite with respect for each other’s humanity and the right to live in peace.
“Let’s always choose the union, not division.”
In fact, wrong statements about the growing migration numbers contributed to anti -immigration thought, including promotional brochures for Sunday rallies.
Victoria President Victoria Associations Federation Vasan Srinivasan said that many protesters should recognize the community.
“We are all here for a reason: a peaceful, happy life.”
Many of the Indian community are talented immigrants who come to Australia as a doctor or engineering qualities.
Dr Rizvi said that one of the best represented professions in the Australian migration program is that the population is aging and the health labor force is highly demanding nurses because it was exposed to high wear.
Migrants also undertake less, less skilled work that many Australians do not want to do like fruit collection and farmwork.
“We need to remember that most of the students and most of the working holidaymakers cannot get Dole,” he said.
“If they can’t find a job, they won’t survive.”
