All those contortions for not just saying that you cant treat visas the same way for people like ukrainiens and people possibly ISLAMISTE and terrorists !!! Australia is right to be careful.
Can't win either way. There are extreme left and right views on the situation. As public servants they are not supposed to have views on what they are executing except for as directed by the government.
Australians don't want a lot of people with extreme views in the country, particularly ones who think violence is okay provided it is directed at a certain group of people. Why would you import that ideology into the country even if it was on humanitarian grounds. I do think we should be trying to help the Palestinians though in other ways.
I agree. Their ideology is diametrically opposed to that of Australia. The mess in Europe bears witness to how importing thousands (even millions) of foreigners can destroy local culture
Unfortunately the independents who do seem to actually care about this country let their compassion outweigh common sense sometimes. This is one case. When it comes to immigration there needs to be a no net worsening consideration. Extreme religious ideology that is incompatible with Australia's christian roots should never be allowed to grow in this country just as they would never allow another religion to become dominant in their country. Their ideology doesn't conform to Australian values and we shouldn't compromise our values to accommodate theirs.
What a Miserable System. They charge the $190 Fee for each rejection of 1/2 Million people, and keep those funds, that's alot of money off the misery of destroyed holiday plans!
HELP THE PALESTINIANS SOMEONE PLEASE PEOPLE WITH POWER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE STOPPED WHY ARENT YOU USING THE POWER YOU HAve WHY IS EVERYONE SCARED OF ISRAEL
The statistics on extremism in gaza are frightening. We should be helping, but let's be careful handing out large numbers of tourist visas. If course, Afghanistan and Ukraine are enormous countries compared to gaza.
Why not going to Iran why not Turkey does Australia culture is close to GAZAN culture or Iran and Turkey are closure same religion why on earth Australia
These public servants are totally unprepared. This is the Australian Senate, not a picnic. What an utter disgrace.

Genuine Tourist Visas are rejected and they keep the $190 Fee. Approx 1/2 Million rejections. That's alot of lost Revenue. Please Investigate.
I LOVE DAVID POCOCK
David, if you go per capita, then gazans have received 3 times more visas than afghans.
Gaza is 2m residents, Afghanistan is 42m.
