"We have heard it all before; every time Labor is caught out for weakness on border protection, national security or immigration, the green left confects charges of racism, xenophobia and division."

Reckless and toxic: left hurls abuse amid Labor’s weakness on borders

We are experiencing one of the most testing and divisive periods in our multicultural history, and the Prime Minister is rudderless, swept along by events rather than leading.

On national security, immigration and social cohesion, the Albanese Labor government is all at sea. We are experiencing one of the most testing and divisive periods in our multicultural history, and the Prime Minister is rudderless, swept along by events rather than leading.

Record immigration during a housing and cost-of-living crisis, hundreds of criminal non-citizens set free and reoffending, people-smuggling boats arriving on the mainland, anti-Jewish hate speech rampant and unprosecuted in our cities, more than 1300 migrants welcomed from Gaza with cursory security checks, and the director-general of ASIO saying it is OK if these new arrivals support Hamas.

Yet Anthony Albanese is not exercised, his standard approach seems to be hands-off – just let the bureaucrats manage all of this – and he attacks Peter Dutton for sowing “fear” and “division”.

Teal MP Zali Steggall screams “racist” at Dutton, while Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young calls him “nasty” and Labor Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek accuses him of trying to “win votes by frightening” people.
