Liberals Vow to Boot Migrants Who Breach Aussie Values
Taylor says visas should depend on values, with mandatory social media screening, temporary protection visas and faster deportations in a tougher Coalition plan.
- On Tuesday, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor unveiled a hardline migration plan at the Menzies Research Centre, pledging to "lower the numbers and lift the standards" of Australia's immigration program by making compliance with Australian values a compulsory visa condition.
- The Coalition has struggled to refine its immigration message since losing most urban electorates last year and facing pressure from One Nation in national polls, prompting Taylor to differentiate his approach from Labor's emphasis on migration value.
- Taylor pledged to establish an "enhanced screening co-ordination centre" within the Department of Home Affairs to block "terrorist sympathisers and security risks," while restoring Temporary Protection Visas to curb "cheating" of the immigration system.
- Focusing on approximately 1300 Gazans who arrived after the October 7 Hamas attack, Taylor warned they "present a clear risk to our country" and argued that cohort must face "greater scrutiny" and complete re-assessment.
- While the policy lacks a specific migrant intake target, it establishes cultural battlelines against Labor, with Taylor claiming current immigration has "shattered Australians' quality of life" and demanding urgent reform to national standards.
