'Sympathy' for Hamas should not be overlooked when issuing visas: Scott Morrison

Former prime minister Scott Morrison discusses calls from the Opposition Leader not to allow the issuing of visas to Palestinians fleeing Gaza. "In terms of letting many others come particularly on visitor visas in most circumstances, particularly from a place that you'd have to consider high risk," Mr Morrison told Sky News host Sharri Markson. "If Hamas were to have elections tomorrow, they would probably get 90 per cent of the vote. "The idea that any sympathy with Hamas rhetorical or otherwise somehow could be overlooked and you can get a leave pass to live long term in Australia."
