STATEMENT ON SENATOR ANNING’S DIVISIVE LEGISLATION

18 OCTOBER 2018

The moment any form of racism starts, it needs to be squashed immediately.

This morning Senator Anning announced his intention to bring to Parliament the Introduction of a Plebiscite restricting Non-European migration to Australia.

It’s a racist motion. You only move this sort of thing if you hate modern Australia. Australians aren’t like this. We are a good country and people just want to get along with each other. This racist rubbish has to stop.
