Australians MUST be given a say on immigration
Australians MUST be given a say on immigration
Article by Steven Tripp
“We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come.”
This was the famous quote by then Prime Minister John Howard at his 2001 election campaign launch.
Many took it as a statement of defiance; the line in the sand to say that Australia alone will decide its immigration intake and the character of the migrants we allow into the country.
Unfortunately, what Howard was really saying was that ‘we the politicians’ decide, not everyday Australians.

Australians for Better Government calls for the Australian people to be given the power to set immigration levels
In reaction to Sunday’s horrific terrorist incident at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, in which innocent lives were tragically lost, Australians for Better Government (ABG) is calling for public plebiscites to determine Australia’s immigration intake.
“ABG is loathed to politicise the tragic shooting at Bondi Beach on Sunday,” announced ABG President Steven Tripp. “But unfortunately, the incident is a clear failure of Governance.”
