We know he’s no racist, we have his own word on that, but what does Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews really think about African refugees?
According to media releases on his own website, the problem with Africans is:
- They establish race based gangs.
- There have been reports of altercations between African groups in nightclubs and at community functions.
- There have been disagreements amongst prominent African community organisations over accusations that some are receiving favoured treatment in accessing community services
- Tensions have arisen between some African families, involving conflict and assault.
- Concern among some community leaders as to the increase in crime among African youth.
- Reports of a developing trend of young African males congregating in parks at night, often to consume alcohol.
