Andrew Leigh, Assistant Minister for Productivity, Competition, Charities and Treasury, appeared last week on ABC’s Afternoon Briefing with host Patricia Karvelas, where Leigh stated the following blatant lie about Australia’s immigration numbers:
“We’ve reduced migration from the record highs it was under the Coalition, getting it more in line, including working with universities on the student migration program”.
As usual, the statement by Leigh received zero pushback from Karvelas, who is a vocal defender of Big Australia mass immigration and regularly derides anybody who advocates for lower immigration.
