These companies factor in such fines as a minor cost and inconvenience.
This should be billions at the very least; removal of existing rights, permissions, leases, and even ownership of land should also be penalties.

Here's a list of adjectives Karvelas uses for immigration 'policy' that Liberals are flirting with:

- tougher
- hardline
- radical
- populist
- anti-immigration
- a nostalgic vision of a whiter Australia.
Do ABC editorial guidelines preclude "racist"?

Angus Taylor might be hoping the old John Howard trick of high migration while being tough on borders will keep working. He shouldn’t count on it, writes Bernard Keane.
Taylor snares himself in Dutton's migration trap — because without migrants, we're f***ed
Angus Taylor faces the same problem as Peter Dutton on migration: you can scare voters about who's coming in, but what about demands to cut migration altogether?
