Throughout her time as Australia’s Home Affairs Minister, Clare O’Neil boasted that Australia was in a “race for global talent” with other advanced nations, like Canada.
O’Neil argued that immigration had been the “special sauce in our national story” and advocated for more.
She stated that Australia needed to transition “away from a system which is almost entirely focused on how we keep people out to one that recognises that we are in a global war for talent”.
