PARTIES CONSPIRE TO KEEP IMMIGRATION OUT OF ELECTION, BOOK SHOWS
The author of a new book called "This Tired Brown Land" has accused the major political parties of conspiring to keep immigration and population off the election agenda. The book has already attracted good reviews. Author Mark O'Connor today claimed that both the major political parties were suppressing discussion in order to deny One Nation 'the oxygen of publicity'. But it is exactly such bipartisan ignoring of public sentiment on immigration which caused One Nation, and led to the enormous success of Paul Sheehan's book Among the Barbarianns. Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock recently launched the Coalition's policy in Perth-too late in the day for the Eastern media to pick up the story. Says author Mark O'Connor, 'Clearly the Coalition knows its policy is not what the electorate wants. 'Polls show that the electorate has made up its mind. Only 2% or 3% of voters want immigration increased; and they are outnumbered, some 30 to one, by the 65% or 70% who want it reduced. Neither ethnic Australians nor Aborigines support higher immigration. Most Australians support multiculturalism, yet want an immediate moratorium on immigration. 'My book shows that in 1994-95 (under Labor) our net migration gain (ABS figures) was 80,100 persons. Last year it was 83,700. Despite this, the Coalition has tried to give the impression of reducing immigration. Some critics have even accused the government of "racism" for "reducing immigration". This is false.' The book is available throough bookshops at $16.95, or by cheque or money order from Duffy & Snellgrove for $19.95 (includes p&p) at PO Box 177 Potts Point NSW 1335 fx 2 9386 1530 [email protected] ------------------
