Immigration Policy

 

The concerns that have to be addressed by our immigration policy must include: The increasing Muslim population and the increasing demands and concerns to law and order as a result of these new ideologies being given increasing significant credence by our law makers, the seeming difficulties of the Christian refugees coming to Australia, the moving away from the Christian principals with much public policy. The policy outline we hope will begin to address these concerns.

The Preamble:

The purpose of our immigration and visitors policies must be to balance our needs as a country and the desires of people wanting to visit or settle in Australia. As a Christian Party we wish to support whatever Christian values that have been established and developed over the 200 years since settlement. While some may dispute that we are a Christian Country all must agree that all our origins are steeped in Christian tradition. It would be our desire to favour people of Christian tradition as in our view this would lead to greater harmony within Australia as it is our strong desire to have a society of one people without enclaves of segregated people groups as this could give rise to unacceptable disharmony. We have tried to be balanced in our policy direction but we are mindful of the changed world due to the security issues that are now very real in Australia and in the world at large. It is not our intent to prejudge applicants but all care must be taken to protect the national interest and the citizens of this great country, Australia.

Notes:

Children born to non citizens: Children born in Australia shall have the same status as the birth mother; that is if the mother is a on a working visa the baby will have the same entitlements within (the rules of) that visa (rules).

 Determining good character: The term good character should mean proof of residence in an area for at least 10 years and the police certificate indicating all their involvement with that person. Evidence from the community that will establish good character which will be subject to examination.  Note: an applicant for a protection visa may not have the necessary paper work to prove this and therefore this may be relaxed to some extent but to go from a protection visa to a citizen the applicant will need to have 10 years of good character to apply for the permanent residency visa and then if successful may after qualifying period on a permanent resident visa apply for citizenship. The full disclosure of any and all criminal activities that the applicant may have been involved in is required. There should also be positive statements of good character that are verifiable. Any person giving a reference of good character must be able to establish their good character.

Determining capacity to cover health costs: This can be by insurance or by funds invested and set aside for that purpose.

Determining capacity to learn English: Enrolment in an approved course and attendance of greater than 85% of the lessons. The capacity of being able to be fully functional in the communication in English

Determining capacity to understand legal system: Attendance at an approved course where a satisfactory standard is reached.

Determining of taxation as it is applied to employment: Attendance at an approved course where a satisfactory standard is reached.  

A person having been involved in terrorism who has demonstrated verifiable change of character would not be excluded if as an intense examination in all circumstances shows a stable and changed character.

Our United Nations commitment to refugees will be adhered to via an orderly intake of refugees the so called boat people will be sent back if the immediate threat to the life and liberty cannot be proven and the onus of proof is on the ‘refugee’.
