Labor today launched another cruel attack on refugees and migrants, tabling new legislation to strip people of the right to natural justice.

The Home Affairs (2025 Measures No. 1) Bill 2025 introduced is targeted at people recently released from immigration detention following a High Court ruling that people cannot be held indefinitely by bureaucrats or politicians. Removing the right of natural justice.

For centuries, natural justice has been a cornerstone of our law. The Albanese Government is seeking to remove these rights from migrants shows how toxic and far right Labor’s immigration policy has become.

People rightfully don’t want to go to Nauru because they know they will face the very real risk of being forcibly returned to danger, and they surely have the right to be heard before that happens to them.

Those people shouldn’t illegally migrate using bogus refugee claims then. It costs actual refugees places in our intake.

Is there any evidence of this? Genuinely interested.

We have a limited number of refugee places. When they are filled with comparatively well off people paying people smugglers to gain entry & make largely fictitious claims (I must’ve read 100 such immigration files) - people are left in UN Camps around the world that would otherwise gain a place.

Are the claims available under freedom of information?

I disagree, what it shows is just how racially charged the perceptions of the electorate has become, and the LNP and RW media are driving this false perception for political gain. But the demographics of the electorate is shifting (which is what the RWNJs are pushing back against)

It’s a pity @tonyburkemp.bsky.social doesn’t focus on stopping a stream of weapons over our borders into the hands of the lawless fruitcake murderers that are proliferating. He might also lead a charge to end exemptions for gun clubs as safe havens feeding the gun lobby & tighten up rural licences

Given the number of Iranian political refugees stuck in visa limbo, many for more than a decade, you would think a government that just expelled the Iranian ambassador might connect the dots and do something worthwhile. We are led by drones.

The march of the far right - it now wears the badge of Labor. What is going on in that party! Majority governments are dead. We got rid of Abbott, Morrison and Dutton - we can get rid of Albanese #auspol
