Taylor says government should not give Syrian camp detainees passports
Angus Taylor has claimed the Albanese government could choose to avoid giving passports to Australians detained in Syria or block them from re-entering Australia.
The government should be making every possible effort to not accept these people back into the country. That includes both the issuing and distribution of passports, where that’s possible. … There’s a lot of discretion or some discretion with the minister, as there is with temporary exclusion orders.
I don’t trust the government. … All I’m saying is we need to know is when the last security assessments were done, what we know from that and why only one temporary exclusion order has been issued.
Can I say, booing, whatever the cause, on Anzac Day, [at] Anzac Day ceremonies, is absolutely inappropriate and un-Australian. It shouldn’t happen. It simply shouldn’t happen.
I can understand the frustration Australians feel about over use of welcomes to country. I feel that at times. Often actually. I think it is overuse and as a result they are devalued.
Absolutely not boo, absolutely.
