Scott Morrison refuses to sign UN migration pact

[icyfroth]

Scott Morrison has refused to sign up to the United Nations migration pact, saying it would compromise Australia's national interests and border security.

In a statement issued this morning, Mr Morrison said the government had already achieved the goals the deal set out.

And, he said, it failed to distinguish between illegal migrants, and those who arrived "the right way".

Australia now joins the United States and others, in rejecting the UN pact.

Scott will say anything if he thinks there's a vote in it.
I wouldn't vote for him even if he was the only one on the ballot

where is our 'caravan of criminals and undesirables'?

Man Monis and that guy that ran amok in Bourke St.mall both came in the 'right way'

[davidc4430]

and will reducing intake of migrants stop anyone from 'running amok'?

not until we can read the future.

Doubtful really, plenty of Australian born and raised scumbags have commited heinous acts

Vote what you think is right and live with the consequences, marwi.

Not talking about migration policies in particular, just a general comment. I am a bit wary of any pact put up by organisations such as UN, unless they align with our own interests, values & policies.

I guess the reason for that is I have spent the best part of 20 years on an English messageboard and learnt first hand of how the EU governed just about everything. Their courts couldn't do this, couldn't do that.

There is a lot to be said about having freedom & autonomy.
