Kevin Rudd's Labor government has acted against the ongoing welfare and wellbeing of Australian society, with the announcement of its new immigration targets. Under K.Rudd, the refugee intake is to be increased; it was reported that the intake of offshore refugees will have "a special emphasis on refugees from Africa, Asia and the Middle East"[1]. These changes are not in the national interest.

Immigration Minister Chris Evans announced that the Temporary Protection Visa scheme will be scrapped, "so that's 1,000 people who'll be granted permanent residency".[2]

The Australian newspaper reported that "We are about to enter a period of record-breaking levels in permanent and temporary immigration during the next three years. At the end of the 2007-08 financial year, Australia will have accepted more than 300,000 permanent and temporary migrants in an attempt to meet business demands for skilled workers."[3]

Ignoring the wishes of the Australian people, other politicians such as Steve Bracks (the previous Labor Premier of Victoria) have called for even more immigration from Asia and the Pacific.[4]

The fact is that importing migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East is endangering Australia's future. It costs taxpayers millions of dollars, spawns further social disharmony, and increases the ongoing alienation of fair dinkum Australians that has already been created by the divisiveness of Political Correctness and the political ideology of Multiculturalism.

We need to end immigration from Third World countries, to instead limit any immigration to European peoples and cultures that are compatible with the Australian people and will readily fit into our way of life. We should not be putting our nation at risk - from now on, we need to start looking after Australians.
