The ‘racist’ debate over Gaza visas
Manage episode 435229524 series 2071258
The debate over whether Australia should be granting visas to Palestinians from Gaza has been getting pretty heated.
In part it’s turned into a row over what is and isn’t racist.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says we need a ban because of a security risk posed by people from that war zone.
But with 1300 people having already managed to reach Australia and others being granted permission to come, is there really any danger?
Today, the ABC’s Patricia Karvelas discusses the policy and the politics.
