Dear John
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.
Labor just said how dare Pauline Hanson even raise this issue, and
then spoke about the past in their refusal to face the present crises
for which they are responsible. As usual, they went down the same worn
down path of racism accusations, when in fact this is just asking for
Australians to be given a say about the numbers.
The minor parties, the Greens, Jacqui Lambie and David Pocock are
absolutely terrified of what they know Australians would say in a
compulsory national vote on immigration levels. Poll after poll after
poll shows that whenever we’re asked, the majority of Australians want
lower immigration. Two recent polls in December last year put this
figure at more than 60%.
They’re not just ignoring the opinion polls. They’re ignoring the
growing chorus against high immigration from economic commentators.
They’re ignoring the huge numbers of people lining up to inspect a
single property, desperate to secure a rental.
They’re ignoring the growing congestion in our cities. They’re
ignoring the families struggling to find the money to pay skyrocketing
rents amid our cost of living crisis. They’re ignoring the growing
cities of tents, swags, and cars as more Australians fall into
homelessness and despair.
It’s no wonder they’re running scared. Australians are struggling,
desperate and angry. More than 125,000 new arrivals – more than the
population of Ballarat and almost that of Darwin – came to Australia
in January this year. A single month.
One Nation is listening to Australians. We've always listen to
Australians. We've been listening since 1996, when we were first
elected to Parliament, and called for a halt to immigration. We've
been almost a lone voice on this issue among Australian political
leaders, the rest of which seem in lock step with big business and
other out-of-touch elites in pushing ‘big Australia’.

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.
