Tony Abbott knows what the vast majority of Australians want, and it's definitely not an increase of Muslim immigration.
Of course he doesn't want to state that he supports a moratorium on Muslim immigration and so instead he promises a smaller more sustainable immigration.
I am sorry Tony, even if we get only half of our standard Muslim migrant intake it is still not acceptable.
Why such caution?
Just being pragmatic in order to win the next election without upsetting the UN, Oil Money and the Human Rights Commissariat.
The Coalition policy seeks to link immigration with the nation's carrying capacity. It argues it is necessary to ease population growth to deliver more sustainable population levels "based on our present and future capacity so that our infrastructure, services and environment can catch up".
"What we are planning to do is to get our immigration levels to those which we believe are economically, environmentally, and politically, if you like, sustainable," the Opposition Leader said.

Long term deporting muslims will be supported ,start with all the reverted muslims as they seem to be the most radical with the most severe muhammism hatred

Whoever gets elected should do something about the staff in the immigration department, as in chuck out the Muslims who are helping their mates get in. That would be a great help.

The awful, ghastly prospect of a million muslims in our country within another 20 or so years.....
If our "leaders" will not grasp the nettle NOW, it will be too late, and all this within our lifetime.
Perhaps "we are getting there" though. Barely 3 months ago, the only people talking like this in public were the likes of us, and we were all labelled islamophobic, redneck racists. If sufficient pressure is sustained on our politicians perhaps the balance will continue to tip in our favor?
However, watching the cowardly manner in which all players currenly dance around this issue.....doesn't inspire much confidence, does it? Abbott KNOWS yet refuses to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Has political expedience ever looked so pissweak, so near to treason?
The idea of a complete 5 or 10 year moratorium has merit, needs to be discussed and needs to be strenously advocated. It is not enough, to attach the concerns of an entire nation to a statistical decline and call it policy!
Tony Abbott - give us a voice... a referendum on immigration! You seem to have difficulty discerning the will of the people, so here's a novel idea.....ask us!

No second guess for which group/religion who will miss the boat to our wonderful carefree and relaxed country.
The oath of allegiance to be signed by every migrant:
I will defend this country against all enemies - even those whose faith is my faith.
I will accept the Australian way of life and not ask to be treated differently.
I will fight for democracy over and above any religious belief I have. (That's why I am here- right)
I will not incite hate against those who invited me here.
I will accept humour in all its forms and will not want to kill you because I disagree with you.
I will leave immediately, at my own expense, once I break any of these commandments.
Why will I leave? I will leave because Australians don't want migrants who won't assimilate and who make demands and desire to change their way of life.

The politicians seem to have no grasp of the Golden Mean for economic growth, where there must be both population and skill growth. They seem to assume than a bigger number is a better number, even though China has a big number where the average per capita income is less than $US3,000 per annum, though of course they use purchasing power pricing to tweak this rate to an artificially high level, without discounting for factors affecting the quality of living such as inflation, pollution, and the fact that many goods are not discounted relative to exchange rates, such as oil, many medicines, and high-tech imports, including weaponry and spaceships.
Elsewhere, large populations of unskilled people demonstrate that economic growth is not dependent on population growth if the population cannot use technology to make itself more productive or the education to make itself more innovative and resourceful, as in South Africa or Brazil, despite having large numbers of capable workers in raw terms.
And of course, governments refuse to countenance that many ethnic groups are simply hostile to or incompatible with the West; Muslims in particular have demonstrated so often that they are incapable of assimilation or improvement over three generations. Turks, Lebanese and Vietnamese have stood out for over a generation as distinct groups who fail economically and who live in cultural ghettoes. Similarly, Chinese and Koreans segregate themselves as their numbers grow.
On the other hand, some of them do enter into biracial marriages and have children who often have trouble being accepted by or identifying with an ethnic or racial group. These offspring put further pressure on a fragmented community.
But all the major parties vying for government can do is talk about planning and infrastructure.

Taking a stance against certain ethnic and religious groups settling in Australia labels you a racist and has everyone distancing themselves from you. The blatant and not so palatable truth is that we value our way of life in Australia and don't want to see it watered down to the point where our freedom of expression and assimilation is threatened.
If we visit other countries, especially Middle East countries, we are severely restricted in every sense - what we wear, what we say, how we communicate (holding hands forbidden in some places) and how we practice our religion. In fact we can't immigrate to any of these countries, no matter how long you have worked there or lived there. You will rarely if ever become a citizen of a Middle East country - none of which are a democracy. Democracy and Islam are a direct contradiction. For a Muslim, Islam comes first and overrides any democratic principle.
Immigrating to Australia, a true democracy, requires its citizens to adhere to its democratic ways. How is it possible for Muslims to accept our democracy without denying the relevance of the Koran. They should be asked to make a clear choice on arrival in secular Australia. Do you accept the democratic principles of this country above and beyond all other religious beliefs? If the answer is no, then put them on the first ship or plane out of here. If by chance they lie and later denounce our ways and ask for special privileges, as they do, then remind them of their oath of allegiance and acceptance of our ways.
How could this be unfair? You have been warned. Like it or leave it - go back to where you came from, as this country only wants those who embrace it unconditionally. Take a look at those European countries who are having problems with Islam. Yes, it is Islam and not Christians, Buddhists or Hindus that are causing the problems. It is Muslim migrants who riot and call for your death the first time you care to criticize the Koran or Mohammed. Do we want these people with this mentality here? It has begun, just as it has begun in the US, Canada, Great Britain and continues in Europe.
Stop this crazy acceptance of Muslims, stemmed from fear of being labelled racist or discriminatory. It is our right in Australia to uphold our ways and have only those arrive on our shores who truly and unconditionally want to be here.
