Move to ensure only Aussie Citizens can sponsor visa's.

Conservatives move to ensure only Australian citizens can sponsor visas

December 08, 2017

Senator Cory Bernardi has moved in the senate to remove the ability for permanent residents to sponsor visas, saying that only Australian citizens should be legal sponsors of those seeking to enter Australia.

Moving an amendment to the Migration Amendment (Family Violence and other measures) Bill, Senator Bernardi flagged that the system should only be available to those who have secured Australian citizenship.

Some observers have expressed surprise to learn that you do not have to be a citizen to sponsor a family member or worker coming into the country.

Debate on the measures has been adjourned to 2018 as numerous senators move amendments to the bill.

Senator Bernardi's move is in keeping with our policy positions regarding citizenship and permanent residency in our immigration policy.

isnt is amazing that someone who isnt a citizen can sponsor another to arrive - family members for instance of refugees who came by boat illegally - no visa is illegal in spite of the constant voices of the loony Left who say we have to allow all and sundry in to claim refuge and live off welfare til age pension then return home leaving offspring to follow suit. And why we have to borrow 110 milion a day and rising as we now have 24 million folk of which only around 10 million actually work and pay income taxes or have retired having paid their dues and are now the target of the same loony lefties who are always bemoaning the Age Pension when it is measly and not enough to cover todays cost of living and was CUT for married couples in 2009 quietly by Labor. Down from being paid 167% of the single pension for a couple to only 150% in other words from being paid one single pension and a half of one single pension. Now that is not fair or just when our generation paid taxes and drew very little off of welfare as we took it for granted, you have to work and pay your way.And we worked and paid in a levy for the age pension which now all agree in Canberra never happened. Ha ha then why did Menzies shut down the Pension fund in 1950 and borrow' the monies - value today 2+ billions at time for using to pay off WW2 debt etc. Didnt happen - then fairies must have paid in this cash they all agreed to use and now say didnt happen.

BTW read Immigration Policy - makes sense and would stop the rot on welfare.  I like the bit re have to work and pay income tax before ability to become a citizne and 10 years here paying tax for minimum of 6 years. Stop a lot or rorting.
