I note this only refers to "migrants" - most of the #PHONies and many of the #NOidea #NOalition would be out on their collective arses as well if the "values" were assessed across the board #auspol #Bollocks

Migrants who breach values would be kicked out under Ley-era policy draft
A leaked copy of the Liberal Party's migration policy prepared before Sussan Ley was ousted included plans to "elevate" the current non-binding Australian values statement.

Here's a list of adjectives Karvelas uses for immigration 'policy' that Liberals are flirting with:
- controversial
- tougher
- hardline
- radical
- populist
- anti-immigration
- a nostalgic vision of a whiter Australia.
Do ABC editorial guidelines preclude "racist"?

Radical immigration policy banning countries being considered by Liberals
Angus Taylor says he will unite the Liberal Party, but a deeper rift is forming between those who want to overhaul the party's direction and those who believe doing so would mean political death.

I am surprised by how much mainstream media goes out of their way to avoid any mention of Zionists' political clout.
Or even their lobbying activities.
We'll know there's been a change in climate when #4Corners investigates the role and connections of the Israel lobby.
Including Ms Segal.

The Liberal Party is chasing right-wing voters off a right-wing cliff, failing to even try to win back the urban, educated women who have locked them out of the cities until further notice.
Opinion | The Liberals need to win back all sorts of voters. But they especially needs to win back professional, urban women — and Angus Taylor is unlikely to help there, @rachelwithers.bsky.social writes.
What will Angus Taylor mean for the Liberals’ seemingly never-ending women problem?
The Liberal Party needs to win back all sorts of voters, but especially urban women. Instead it seems intent on chasing right-wing voters off a right-wing cliff.

Angus thinks the coalition won the election. Without announcing any policies publicly, he wants the govt to let him decide what things to cut in the budget. How about cutting out the bullshit, Angus. #auspol
