Australian immigration rhetoric criticised as unlikely election talk
Original: Talking tough on something unlikely to happen, even if they do get in. Then the blame game would begin! # AusPol # Migra
Commentators are questioning tough immigration promises in Australian politics, arguing that parties are talking tough on cutting migration even though Australia has never deliberately reversed migration levels, and that such cuts are unlikely to happen even if the party wins office. The suggestion is that the rhetoric is a farce, and if cuts were attempted and failed, a blame game between politicians would follow.
Why now: Immigration policy rhetoric is a live issue in Australian political debate, likely around an election period.
