澳大利亚一国党领导人Pauline Hanson计划在国会复会时推出《保护澳大利亚人免受外国恐怖分子法案》[1],对内务事务部长Tony Burke的移民政策监管提出批评。Hanson声称劳工党计划在四年内引入额外100万移民[1],并指称已有150万移民在四年内被引入[1]。
对此,Burke表示该法案"在高等法院会持续约30秒"[1]。宪法法律专家Anne Twomey将该提案描述为延缓机制,认为其成效有限[1]。与此同时,政府计划将净海外移民削减至年度预算预测的225,000人[1],并考虑重做技能移民项目、对工作假期签证和家庭团聚签证施加更严格规则[1]。
Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, plans to introduce the "Protecting Australians from Foreign Terrorists Bill" when parliament resumes this week, targeting Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke's handling of migration numbers [1]. Hanson has accused the Labor government of planning to bring in an additional one million migrants over four years [1], while claiming that 1.5 million migrants have already been admitted over the same period [1].
The proposed legislation has drawn sharp criticism from constitutional experts despite Hanson's determination to proceed. Burke dismissed the bill as unlikely to survive judicial scrutiny, stating it would "last about 30 seconds in the High Court" [1]. Constitutional law expert Anne Twomey characterized the proposal as a delaying mechanism with limited practical effect [1]. The government is moving to cap net overseas migration at 225,000 annually according to budget forecasts [1], and is considering restructuring the skilled migration program while imposing stricter conditions on working holiday visas and family reunion sponsorships [1].
