Statement – Media Reports With Respect To Proposed Immigration Policy

I refer to media reports of a so-called leaked Liberal Party policy proposal with respect to banning migration from certain declared regions.

It is important that I provide the following information for the record.

I never proposed any such policy.

I never agreed to any such policy.

I never signed or approved a Shadow Cabinet submission containing any such policy.

I have a range of serious concerns with respect to any such policy.
