Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke must provide details of the action he is taking against
non-citizens who support terrorist organisations Hezbollah and Hamas.
Minister Burke has said that he would “consider refusing and cancelling visas for anyone who seeks to incite discord in Australia”.
The Australian reports today that a pro-Hezbollah activist who led a Melbourne march waving the Hezbollah flag and who believes Australia is a “tyrannical terrorist regime” is an Iranian national.
Is Minister Burke reviewing this man’s visa status?
How many visas has Minister Burke cancelled because the holder supports a terrorist organisation?
What resources has Minister Burke directed towards identifying and removing non-citizens who sow discord with their abhorrent views?
Minister Burke must do the right thing by all Australians and take strong action against people who import trouble into our peaceful country.
When it comes to national security, Labor cannot afford to fail again.
Because of Labor’s Ministerial Direction 99, violent non-criminals have avoided deportation, including one man who went on to allegedly commit murder.
And one of the criminals that Labor released from immigration detention allegedly bashed and robbed a cancer survivor and grandmother after Labor removed his monitoring conditions.
