| Message | Maybe because they can’t, ever thought of that?The LP is acting like it’s easy to apply to be a refugee, when in actuality it’s harder than being a regular immigrant.Under the current legislation, “extreme circumstances” isn’t defined.Is gang violence extreme circumstances?Is war an extreme circumstance?We are removing this loophole by allowing all refugees of any circumstance, in.

| Message | The Prime Minister once again failing to understand political reality. Our party is in favour of totally open migration and welcomes changing the law on the subject. Our problem is with the idea that it is the responsibility of the Gaduri taxpayer (who actually has to pay for the insane levels of spending that this government keeps piling up) spending their money subsiding failed states.That is immoral. Darius Atkins Deputy Leader of the Libertarian Party |
