Government launches crackdown on 'criminals' exploiting visa system

The federal government says criminals have been allowed to exploit Australia's visa system for human trafficking and other organised crime, as it announces a boost in compliance officers and new rules for migration agents.

www.abc.net.au

Ms O'Neil blamed the previous government for a deterioration in immigration compliance, which she said allowed the system to be used to "perpetrate some of the worst crimes known to humanity".

"One of the great frauds that's been perpetrated in Australian politics is Peter Dutton presenting himself as the tough guy who kept our border secure and our nations safe," the home affairs minister said.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton returned fire, describing Ms O'Neil as "angry" and "aggressive".

True, true. The AG noted that Duttons home affairs was failing on multiple accounts

It’s becoming a Dutton thread.

Let me bring it back! Jacinta has finally spoken, acknowledging the meme should never have been posted!

This was such a big issue for you.
Now that she has done this, is she less of an "insipid leader" to you?
Has she improved her standing in your mind at all?

Or did it make literally no difference to you?

In fact, you've probably just changed your position to "She took too long, and was behind it in the first place" or some other insightful unbiased approach, right?


Does anyone actually believe it was an attack on Dutton's wife??

Jacinta is always 10 steps behind, no wonder Victoria is drowning under her watch

The power of Murdoch media this piffling affair is still being discussed

Excuse me while I go looking for the crime wave affecting Melbourne everytim there’s an election

Even the daily mail is disgusted by the crap right wing bots post online

Jacinta Allan receives disgraceful responses following MCG post

This year's Boxing Day Test broke a record that has stood for 87 years, with 350,700 people flocking to the MCG to watch Australia clinch an enthralling victory vs India.

Not really into this type of shit. Does it actually impress anybody?

Why do today’s politicians seem to want to be event planners or promoters?

Either it’s got nothing to do with you and they’re just tweeting irrelevant shit, or they have planned a concert in which case… why is a state government planning concerts?

It’s the same with the SA Premier. If you didn’t know otherwise you’d just assume he was CEO of Gather Round. He just wants to high five people and talk about how he planned it. Or how he got Katy Perry to perform in Adelaide (as if anybody would give a ****).

I’d probably be more up for this type of stuff if modern governments weren't such failures at basic government stuff.

I'll start

Hiring dodgy security guards for Hotel Quarrantine
Announcing the Commonwealth Games are coming to Victoria
Announcing that we no longer want the Commonwealth Games in Victoria
Proceeding with the SRL even though we have record debt that keeps on climbing

But yay Robbie Williams is coming to town!

It’s got nothing to do with them, put on by a radio station to promote his new movie. Just jumping on the bandwagon like all bad politicians do.

Unfortunately will just be mostly LNP nuffies - as if those pitiful campaigners would be any better at government.

Quiet cuts to Metro Tunnel scope raise questions over what services will actually be delivered

Commuters could miss out on the full benefits of the $15 billion project because related network upgrades have been cut to rein in the ballooning budget.

This is the real concern. These items unlock the full benefit of Metro and lxr

That’s 25,000 new home owners. They said the tax wouldn’t work

There will be bugs to iron it though

The more I've been reading about Victorian outcomes and Jacina Allan, the more impressed I've become.

No wonder there is so much mass produced confected outrage about her. It's all they have.

I mean, they can't even compare her to others going through the same global and national issues.
All they have is virtue signaling and clickbait.

If she turns her head left we get histrionics about why she didn't turn her head right.
If she turns her head right we get histrionics about why she didn't turn her head left.
No one actually cares that she turned her head, but they're so ideologically captured that they're tricked into thinking they do.

Sorry Sttew, you were talking about social media posts and taxi drivers. I shouldn't have interrupted you.

Please continue.

With their careers peaking decades ago, these people get dumped on Australia to try to eek a little more out on the preface of being an “international star”.

To be fair, though, he’s out here to promote his movie that was mostly filmed in Melbourne. And the show at Fed Square this afternoon is free.

I still think Robbie Williams’ GF half time show is the best yet.

There will be bugs to iron it though

The main "bug" to iron though is that eradicating the appetite for investors in Victoria means that high density developments are unfeasible and can't get off the ground.

Plus there ain't 25,000 new homes; just a bit of relief in some rental markets.

I'm all for strong vacant property taxes (within reason for some development sites), but the increases in land tax and an already blisteringly high stamp duty, has seen investors move out of the market, meaning that the Vic Govt miss out on those land taxes. Ultimately, these tax increases had nothing to do with getting people into their own home, but paying for the eye watering debt from botched Covid responses and painfully slow reopening, cost blow outs, Comm Games faceplants, etc.

It clearly states they sold their investment properties

Who bought them? I didn’t say 25000 new homes
