Bob Katter: ban Muslim Middle East, North Africa immigration

Independent MP Bob Katter Middle Eastern migrants’ reliance on welfare benefits would drive Australia “bankrupt”.
Independent MP Bob Katter, the grandson of a Lebanese migrant, has urged the Coalition government to impose a ban on Muslim immigration from the Middle East and North Africa.
The North Queensland MP last night said the “time has come” to block migrants from the volatile region, saying Australia should follow the “extremist” migration policy of Saudi Arabia.
Mr Katter said Middle Eastern migrants’ reliance on welfare benefits would drive Australia “bankrupt” while increasing the threat of terrorist attacks.
“The time has come now to stop people from those countries coming to Australia. And if that is an extremist position, is it an extremist position for Saudi Arabia and Dubai; they won’t let any of those people in,” Mr Katter told Sky News last night.
Mr Katter said the policy would not extend to persecuted Jews, Sikhs and Christians, and should not affect Islamic populations outside the Middle East, such as Indonesia, he said.
“There comes a point where I’m worried about Australians, not worried about people over there,” Mr Katter said.
Mr Katter’s grandfather, Carl Robert Katter, was born in Lebanon’s Kadisha Valley and migrated to Queensland early last century. He came from a Maronite Catholic family.
Mr Katter entered federal parliament as a Nationals MP in 1993, having previously served as a minister in Queensland’s Bjelke-Petersen government. He defected to the crossbench in 2001.
His eponymous Katter’s Australian Party holds two seats in the Queensland’s hung parliament, both of which are situated within his vast federal electorate of Kennedy.
Malcolm Turnbull last month dismissed calls to impose a theological test on immigration to Australia.
“Australia has a non-discriminatory immigration program and a non-discriminatory humanitarian program and has done for many, many years and that is not going to change,” he said.
Katter nails it...

Bob Katter is a HERO.
A defender of human life, Australia, primary production, farmers, and what old Australian heritage means and is all about.
One of the best politicians we have seen in that regard.

I've long though driving us broke (Western non Muslim nations) was part of their plan for taking over the world.Rorschach wrote: Mr Katter said Middle Eastern migrants’ reliance on welfare benefits would drive Australia “bankrupt” while increasing the threat of terrorist attacks.
It's a tactic used successfully during the Crusades.
The Crusades were privately funded by those taking part.
Along the way they'd stay at host cities, who'd sell them whatever they wanted for as much as they liked.
One intended Crusade never made it to the Middle East because a host city had done a deal with the Arabs
to get the Crusaders into debt they could not pay, and it worked.
Bob Katter himself reminds me of the Redneck preacher in one of the Porkies movies, just taller.
Probably the funniest thing Katter ever said was on talk back radio.
When asked about animal cruelty via hunting, Katter replied
"If your sons don't kill animals, they're gay"
If Donald Trump is so close to the Ruskis, why couldn't he get Vladimir Putin to put novichok in Xi Jjinping's lipstick?
