Australia migration policy ‘no change’
18 July 2016 by News DeskAustralia migration policy has become a hot topic Down Under following the recent terror attacks in France.
Australia migration has come under the spotlight after Aussie TV presenter Sonia Kruger called for Australia to clamp down on Muslim immigration.
The comments caused a storm of controversy and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was forced to step in to declare that the government’s policy is “non-discriminatory and will remain that way”.
Sonia Kruger made the comments on Australia’s the Today Show. She came out in support of an article in the Herald Sun newspaper that linked France’s recent terrorist attacks to Muslim immigration.
Kruger said: “I think there is a correlation between the number of people who are Muslim in a country and the number of terrorist attacks”.
She then said that she would like to see Muslims barred from entering Australia.
