Senator seeks Muslim immigration ban in maiden speech

QUEENSLAND crossbench senator Fraser Anning has laid out a radical immigration agenda, calling for a “final solution” plebiscite on which migrants come to Australia.

The Katter’s Australia Party MP called for an end to Muslim immigration and a program that favours “European Christian” values.

He claimed a majority of Australian Muslims do not work and live on wel- fare in his maiden speech to parliament yesterday.

“While all Muslims are not terrorists, certainly all terrorists these days are Muslims,” Senator Anning said.

“So why would anyone want to bring more of them here?” He called for the Government to ban all welfare payments to migrants in the first five years of living in Australia, labelling many asylum seekers as “welfare seekers”.

Senator Anning also wants a plebiscite on who comes to the country to allow people to decide whether they want “wholesale non- English speaking immigrants from the Third World”.

He said Australia was entitled to insist migrants were predominantly of the “historic European Christian composition”.

Senator Anning also called for a cultural counter- revolution to restore tra- ditional values and redefine national identity. The 68- year- old outlined plans to boost agriculture through reestablishing rural state banks and re- establishment of marketing of farm goods through grower co- operatives.

Other issues he noted were countering the growing threat of China, slashing government spending, building coal- fired power plants and taking back culture from left- wing extremists.
