Angus Taylor, the leader of the Liberal Party in Australia, has unveiled a new immigration policy that has been met with significant criticism from various quarters, including former ministers and refugee advocates. Taylor's approach, which emphasizes migrants from liberal democracies as more likely to adhere to Australian values, has drawn comparisons to the controversial immigration strategies of former US President Donald Trump. Amanda Vanstone, a former immigration minister, cautioned against turning immigration into a law enforcement issue, emphasizing that many migrants flee authoritarian regimes to escape oppression, not to replicate it. She supported the requirement for permanent migrants to learn English for better integration, but opposed the idea of using immigration systems for law enforcement purposes. Additionally, a current Liberal MP anonymously criticized Taylor's plans for social media vetting at the Australian border, labeling it a misguided attempt to imitate Trump. Paul Power, co-chief executive of the Refugee Council of Australia, highlighted the dangers of singling out vulnerable groups, warning that such policies could lead to discrimination and social unrest. Furthermore, the opposition's immigration plan includes limiting the government's first homebuyers' deposit scheme to Australian citizens, effectively excluding permanent residents from support to purchase homes.
