The night before last a new senator said this in his maiden speech.......
Finally, it should go without saying that, as a nation, we are entitled to require that those who come here not only have useful work skills and qualifications but also the commitment to work and pay taxes. In truth, it appears that many of those who claim to be asylum seekers are actually just welfare seekers who only come to Australia to live on welfare in public housing at the expense of working Australians. In the days of Menzies, immigrants arriving here were not allowed to apply for welfare and that attracted exactly the right sort of hard-working people this country needed. We should go back to that and ban all immigrants receiving welfare for the first five years after they arrive. The final solution to the immigration problem is, of course, a popular vote.
(He couldn't have written it himself. There is a lot about Gramsci and 'cultural Marxism' in it. CM sounds like a justification for right wing class war too me.)
'The final solution' was a bridge too far for just about everyone and universal motions of condemnation or something were passed by both houses.
The upside is that Turnbull and Dutton will not be able to get away with race baiting ('Sudanese youth gangs', 'Muslim terrorism') to win the Victorian and Federal elections. They will have to think of something else.
