''It used to be Labor’s war on our prosperity that disqualified them as a credible party of government.
Bad though that is, it’s not as serious as the visas for votes scheme, where the Albanese government has issued tourist visas to people from a place where two-thirds of the population support terrorist group Hamas: without any due process, without security advice, and without, even, any formal announcement.
For a fortnight now, the government has refused to say that supporting Hamas makes someone ineligible to come here on character grounds.
Gaza is a place where people have been schooled from early infancy that Jews should be killed and that the West is evil.
Almost no one who comes here from Gaza will ever go back.
But the notion that everyone Albanese has let in could sincerely make the Australian citizenship pledge is deeply implausible.
After all, new citizens are required to declare their allegiance to a country “whose democratic beliefs I share” and “whose rights and liberties I respect”.
How many pro-Hamas Gazans could credibly pledge that?
When even Egypt and Jordan refuse to take in Gazans on security grounds, why on earth should we?''
