I mean not really, we are already highly selective of those we bring into this country, we're just saying to tighten it a little bit more

    We, being the coalition? Did you read what Taylor said? He might as well just have said white Judeo-Christians only...

    Australia, we are very highly selective, if you don't/can't get a job here you won't be staying long

    He might as well just have said white Judeo-Christians only…

    According to this

    The vibe is the point

    It's the vibe of the thing... it sounds like he's not proposing much

    Instead, he's repeatedly made an example of the 1,300 or so Gazans who sought safe haven in Australia in the early days of the war. There are "clear risks in people coming from places like that", he says

    It sounds like he wants to say Muslims but is scared he'll get in trouble with someone
