Scott Morrison is following in Donald Trump’s footsteps by refusing to sign a non-binding migration agreement which Australia helped draft...
But the prime minister says the UN pact would compromise Australia’s border security and immigration settings.
“It doesn’t distinguish between those who illegally enter Australia and those who come the right way,” he told 2GB radio on Wednesday.
“I would never allow something to compromise our borders, I worked too hard to ensure that we weren’t in that position.”
The US, Israel, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia, Hungary and Bulgaria have also refused to sign the agreement...
(Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton) said Australia had stopped boat arrivals and drownings at sea through hardline border protection policies.
“We’re not going to surrender that, we want our sovereignty to remain intact,” he said.
