‘Respect and love’: Ley into bat for Indian community
The opposition leader said that the diaspora was injured from comments and tried to get more distance from an open oral senator’s critique of Indian migration.
Coalition Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price forced his party to impose his party under an interview with the government in an interview with Indian immigrants to vote for labor and support his policies.
Opposition leader Sussan Ley said that the comments were wrong when supporting the Indo-Australian community.
“Comments were wrong, they were not true, they should not be realized and no corrections,” said ABC’s Insiders program on Sunday.
“As we do all our immigrant communities, we respect and love our Indian community.
“I heard that they hurt what they hear from the Indian community.”
Senator Price later said that he did not want to underestimate anyone with his comments and recognized the “enormous contribution of the Indo-Avustralians.
“My concern has always been related to wider migration pressure on families from all past, not a concern, infrastructure and a certain community,” he said on social media.
His comments were followed by many anti -immigration rally during the previous weekend, and some contained brochures with anti -Indian rhetoric.
Ms. Ley did not offer an official apology to the Indian community on behalf of the coalition, but said it has full support of the diaspora.
“The most important message I can send is that the appreciation of our Indian community has heard from me directly as the leader,” he said.
The opposition leader is expected to meet with representatives of the Indian community in Western Sydney on Sunday.
Despite Ley, who supported Indian immigrants, he criticized the existing migration as “confusion ve and added that many of them trusting how programs were carried out.
“The problem here is not about immigrants, but about infrastructure,” he said.
“You can never get information about which individuals are under which visas here, which conditions are added to these visas, all you have obtained is this title figure.”
The government said that the permanent migration intake for 2025/26 will remain in 185,000.
NSW Prime Minister Chris Minns described Senator Price’s words as shocking and added that he would “love to see an apology”.
“(Indian-Avustralians) said to Sky News in a homogeneous way,” he said.
“They are largely busy with the political process, but I saw them busy with the liberal party.
“There is a real sense of misunderstanding, I think this is the best scenario… The worst scenario is completely separatist and opposes Australia against Australia.”
Opposition immigrant spokesman Paul Scarr, Senator’s comments are useless, he said.
“When such events occur, you should reach the community, sit in the community, empathize with the community and create these foundations of trust,” he said.
