Australians Deserve A Say On The Levels Of Migration
Media Release
Today Senator Pauline Hanson will introduce her Plebiscite (Future Migration level) Bill 2018 to the Senate. The Bill proposes to give voters a say on whether Australia’s immigration levels are too high by casting a vote at the next general election.
“For years the people of Australia have had immigration and population levels dictated to them by governments that refused to listen to the will of the people,” Senator Hanson said.
“One Nation’s immigration and population policies have been responsibly developed to address issues surrounding rapid population growth, social cohesion in our communities and underdeveloped infrastructure in our cities and regional communities, with no regard to the racial background of potential migrants.”
“For years, media personalities, activists and out of touch politicians have been sneering and labelling any who dared to raise sensible objections to large scale migration as racists.”
“It is time this stopped, the people of Australia should be given a say in the future population and immigration levels of Australia and that is what this plebiscite if passed, will achieve.”
“It is time that politicians took their heads out of the sand and admitted that the lack of well-established population and immigration policies has contributed to many problems across Australia.”
“Because of failure from our leaders to act on immigration Australians are experiencing a reduction in their standard of living. We cannot ignore issues like more congestion on our road, longer waiting times for hospital beds, shortages in our nursing homes, just to name a few.”
“Because of our Government’s inability to implement sensible population and immigration policies, Sydney and Melbourne are now at capacity. In fact, they contain many federal electorates where more residents were born overseas than in Australia. Yet the Government continues to funnel more migrants into those areas.”
“The absence of any real immigration or population planning has contributed to the failure of our Governments to invest in long term energy and water infrastructure, which has led to higher energy prices and threats to our water security.
“The major parties need to accept that through their desire to appease special interests groups, minorities and big business, they are responsible for these shortcomings. It is time they accepted that everyday Australians deserve to have their voice heard.”
