'Will you ban doctors or teachers?' Anne Aly questions Liberal's migration policy

Dr Anne Aly, Federal Minister for Multicultural Affairs, has questioned the opposition’s proposed migration policy, asking whether it could exclude essential workers such as doctors, nurses and teachers. “You cannot predetermine the contribution a person is going to make to this country simply based on their ethnicity, skin colour and which country they come from,” she said, responding to the Liberal Party’s policy announced by Angus Taylor.

“Is he going to stop doctors from coming to Australia? What about nurses and teachers?” Dr Anne Aly said, responding to comments by Liberal Party figure Angus Taylor about deporting migrants who breach ‘Australian values’, which she described as a “divisive political narrative”.

In her exclusive chat with SBS Punjabi, the minister also talks about the proposed National Anti-Racism Framework, government support for small business owners amid rising fuel costs and much more.
