Senators terrified of giving Australians a voice have voted down legislation which would enable a national plebiscite on future immigration levels.
The Senate vote on 21 March demonstrated most of the parliament was completely out of step with the Australian people they served.
Last year’s referendum showed the elites of this nation are out of touch with the Australian people. The vote in the Senate on One Nation's immigration plebiscite bill has demonstrated this fact again.
The Liberals said the question was ‘too complex’ to put to the people. This obvious contempt for the intelligence of the Australian electorate is disgusting. Last year’s referendum showed the majority of Australians get it right when they’re given the opportunity, and that issue wasn’t considered too complex to put to them.
Australians know better, because unlike wealthy politicians and elites it is the Australian people who experience the negative impacts of this record high immigration firsthand. It’s time we exercised our voice, which is why I’m calling for a plebiscite.
One Nation has always championed lower immigration in solidarity with the majority of Australians. On their behalf, we are demanding a halt on immigration, and for the government to put the Australian people first.
