Exercising discretion : Comments

By Marianne Dickie, published 1/7/2008

A review of the system of ministerial discretion by the Minister for Immigration is long overdue.

Due mainly to immigration, Australia's population increased by over 400,000 last financial year.

Politicians who encourage such large numbers of immigrants to a country two thirds uninhabitable are incapable of using descretion.

All immigration, including so-called refugees, should have ceased long ago.

Mr. Right,

There is no need to bring in such a controversial and inhumane policy as banning immigration. There are much more subtle ways of achieving the same end.

The simplest would be to bring back the dictation test. I understand that the last person to pass the test did so in 1909.
