‘Importing hate’: Albanese govt grants 2,400 Palestinians visas in ‘political move’

Bondi Partners Senior Advisor Peter McGauran has slammed the Albanese government for “importing hate” in their “political move” of granting 2,400 Palestinians visas. The federal government has accused the Coalition of fearmongering after 2,000 Palestinian visas were granted. 334 people from the Palestinian territories have so far arrived in Australia on the visitor visas. “No, we’re taking 2,400 Palestinians from a war zone – there’s not the paper checks,” Mr McGauran told Sky News Australia. “If I’m wrong, I’m happy for the government to explain how they’re doing these character and security checks. “It’s a political move by the government to address stirrings within their Muslim communities. “We shouldn’t be importing hate, and we have to wait until the fighting and the war eases or ceases before we can really be sure of who we’re letting into our country.”
