Can't read the original story because of The Australian paywall, but the AC website advises that the Australian government will endorse the UN global deal on refugees, despite Dutton's assurance that they would not.

Canem Malum - Thank you you are the only one to have ever appreciated when something that should be of concern to people is ignored by MSM but reported here.

FOXY
It is highly possible that Liberals won't be in Government for long, what will Shorten do?
What is the election is so close the only way a party can Govern is with Greens support, they could say we will support you if you sign.

Quote "I didn't take your question seriously because it's not logical. We have an Immigration Department that decides on who comes here."

Foxy it appears you are not aware some agreements that the Government sign actually override Australian Laws.

Foxy you think this is a good thing.
The signatory states commit to:
"... eliminate all forms of discrimination, condemn and counter expressions, acts and manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, violence, xenophobia and related intolerance against all migrants in conformity with international human rights law." (Objective 17)

The agreement, conveniently, offers no definitions of what constitutes "racism" or "xenophobia" in this context. What, for example, is "related intolerance"? Is criticism of UN migration policies, for instance, "intolerance"?

Migrants, according to the agreement, must also be "empowered to realize full inclusion and social cohesion" in their new countries (objective 16). This means, among other things, that countries must:

"Promote mutual respect for the cultures, traditions and customs of communities of destination and of migrants by exchanging and implementing best practices on integration policies, programmes and activities, including on ways to promote acceptance of diversity and facilitate social cohesion and inclusion."

All cultures are equal and must be equally respected. Presumably, this means that, for example, the tradition of female genital mutilation (FGM), which almost all Somali women experience in Somalia, must be acknowledged in London and Paris as deserving of "mutual respect" in the same way that it would back in Mogadishu.

runner,

You stated that one of the people on my list was
up on rape charges?

Do tell. And who is that?

Kindly provide the evidence please.

Foxy,
Majak Daw was charged with rape. He was subsequently tried and found NOT GUILTY.

But it seems runner wants people to be treated as guilty until proven innocent.

Philip S,
You're putting two and two together and getting twenty two. Evil customs deserve no respect whatsoever, and this UN agreement won't change that.

ttbn - Quote "the AC website advises that the Australian government will endorse the UN global deal on refugees, despite Dutton's assurance that they would not."

I have not seen that article, if it is right I would be extremely confident they are not saying what the implications of signing it are and what the different objectives of it are.

1st Dutton only said he would not sign it in its present form, but he is irrelevant to that now new person as the Minister for Home Affairs,
also Turnbull gone.
Also, as above. It is highly possible that Liberals won't be in Government for long, what will Shorten do?
What is the election is so close the only way a party can Govern is with Greens support, they could say we will support you if you sign.

Aidan You are not even worth a reply, you can't even read and comprehend the implications of the link I provided above it appear here and on other threads you are like a little troll.

"Evil customs deserve no respect whatsoever, and this UN agreement won't change that."

That is until the lawyers get into the act!!
