Labor says proposed legislation to tighten the character test could lead to someone who has lived in Australia for decades being kicked out for 'grasping someone by the sleeve'

Labor says proposed legislation to tighten the character test could lead to someone who has lived in Australia for decades being kicked out for"grasping someone by the sleeve".

While the government says its targeting non-citizens who commit violent or sex offenders, Labor's home affairs spokesperson Kristina Keneally said low-level offences would also be captured,"such as assault for grasping a person by the sleeve". She argued Since 2014, about 4,700 foreign criminals have been kicked out of the country - seven times as many as the previous six years.

Labor, the socialist, no-borders leopard that simply can’t change its spots! Are there any patriotic Australians in the parliamentary Labor Party?

STOP playing silly buggers and get on with GOVERNING this country to protect the taxpayer. WE and our forebears created and maintained the system, and the infrastructure that the 3rd World wants a part of. NO. Australians MUST come first!

How about Canadians?

What about for lying about foreign govt. propaganda association?

No one gets kicked out for 'grasping someone by the sleeve.' The idiot who came up with those words should certainly be labelled as a typical ALP / Green voter!

Are you guys STILL sticking up for criminal migrants? Do it on your own dime, thanks. You're not legal aid.

Labor Party flags climate policy overhaul | Sky News AustraliaLabor MP Matt Thistlethwaite says his party is planning to overhaul its climate policies and bring “stronger action on climate change” than the current government. \n \nThe member for Kingsford Smith told Sky News host Chris Kenny Labor will do “more than the current government” when it comes to energy policies. \n \n“We didn’t win the last election, we accept that,” he said. \n\n“That’s why we’re conducting this review, not just of our energy policy but all of our policies.”\n \nHis remarks came after former Labor Leader Bill Shorten broke his silence on Labor’s climate policy. \n \nMr Shorten said voters wanted to see strong action to combat climate change but it would be arrogant if the party did not review its climate policy. Labor this, Labor that. Why isn't there a single Tweet here today about the neoLiberal rapist Pell wasting my tax-payer-dollars by appealing his overwhelming conviction for his disgusting crimes? Better not report real news and upset your right-wing religious clown base! Hmm, stronger than the current LNP government denying policy but weaker than the existing Labor policy? I certainly hope not. ClimateEmergency simonahac And stronger losses for crim-Labor at the next election.
