‘Real people, real families’: Coalition signals dramatic shift away from anti-immigration rhetoric of Dutton era

Media: The Guardian
Summary: Australia’s opposition Liberal Party, led by new shadow immigration minister Paul Scarr, is shifting to a more empathetic approach toward migrants, moving away from the harsh rhetoric of former minister Peter Dutton. Scarr acknowledges the loss of support from multicultural communities, especially Chinese and Indian voters, calling it a “profound tragedy” and emphasizing that their values align with the party’s core principles. Experts warn the Liberals must update their outdated approach and tone down anti-China rhetoric to regain trust. Scarr stresses treating migrants as real people and families, urging politicians to be mindful of their language. Rebuilding support among multicultural voters will take time, but restoring trust and connection is essential for the party’s future.
