Angus Taylor is making it up.

They know this won’t work.

As of today there are new rules to put an end to student visa hopping. It’s all about ensuring we have a migration system that Australians can be confident in.

Each year on this day we honour the brave police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our communities. We remember their courage, dedication and commitment. I want to extend our deepest respects to families, friends and colleagues who continue to carry their memory.

We need immigration, but we need to make sure that it is targeted for the needs of Australia.

I want to make sure that we have a system that is working as best as possible for the Australian economy and that the Australian people are confident in that system.

As the Foreign Minister has said, we’ll continue working with local authorities to support rescue, recovery & humanitarian efforts. Australians in need of emergency consular assistance should contact DFAT’s 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on 1300 555 135, or +61 2 6261 3305 (from overseas).

My thoughts and condolences are with the people of Nepal and everyone affected by this devastating disaster. I say to the families anxiously waiting for news of loved ones, including Australians who remain unaccounted for, we stand with you.
