Proponents argue that this strategy would bolster national security by minimizing the risk of potential terrorists entering the country. Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry. Critics argue that such a policy might inadvertently promote discrimination by broadly categorizing individuals based on their nation of origin rather than specific, credible threat intelligence. It may strain diplomatic relations with the affected countries and potentially harm the perception of the nation enacting the ban, being seen as hostile or prejudiced towards certain international communities. Additionally, genuine refugees fleeing terrorism or persecution in their home countries might be unjustly denied safe haven.

Australia should ban all immigration of Muslim people as they do not assimilate with the Multicultural and democratic way of life here in Australia. Since allowing Muslims into Australia, violence and in particular violence against females has increased substantially. Furthermore, the practice of the Muslim religion should also be banned here in Australia. All mosques should be turned into domestic violence shelters for women. All halal products should be banned also. Muslim only want to change Australia into the horrible country they left and remove the rights of Australians. They recruit the Aboriginal community to rise up against the rest of Australia.
@4TMZLTP3yrs3Y
Whilst I agree that banning is unconstitutional, I believe that Muslims are as much of a problem as Roman Catholics were and still are.
@4ZR4GM93yrs3Y
Political correctness is killing the western world. We're so concerned with being called racists we bow to someone calling us silly names. There needs to be a massive injection of common sense and prudency to expidite processes as well as support in place once refugees are processed to stem the flow of problems.
@4V57V7J3yrs3Y
This is the Most racist thing are we back in Negro day You should be embarrassed putting this on Am not a Muslim either
This is so racist to assume only Muslims are terrorists. They are victims of terrorism. Let them in.
@4YNBG6HFamily First3yrs3Y
Seriously this is being discussed. How about we also stop all Christians in case they are affiliated with the KKK. Yes lets discriminate against Muslim immigrants because all terror plots in Aus haven't been from home grown terrorists. NO as Australians we cannot and should not discriminate, normal screening is ok.
We should add a question to the immigration test "Are you a terrorist" "Do you like beer and bacon?" "Do you have a beard?" If the answers go yes, no ,yes then we should reconsider letting them in....
@4ZJFFFR3yrs3Y
A one year moratorium on all immigration from groups identified as being a 'cultural assimilation risk'
@4WR94CV3yrs3Y
That is a racist policy. Yes there is concern at the moment about radical Islamics, however it was once radical Christians and other faiths. Processes for refugee status should be the same, no matter the religion or culture.
@4VV9XR33yrs3Y
No, but we must screen them carefully and we should take asylum seekers on a triage basis so that those most at risk from attack in refugee camps and of persecution (such as homosexuals, atheists and apostates, Christians, Kurds and Yazidis and Ahmaddiya Muslims are settled first and Sunni and Shia Muslims last unless they can prove a commitment to Australian values. We should not take any immigrants that force female family members to wear head-coverings or that agree with child-marriage or that agree with 'honour' violence or the persecution of others (be they atheist, *** homosexual or members of other sects).
@4SZJHPD3yrs3Y
No, banning someone based on their religion is racist and un-Australian. However, we do need better screening processes and more extensive background checks.
Why does this question keep turning up in every election survey? I am growing tired of this question. I don't see how any muslim person should be any more suspicious than any other person coming into Australia. In a hypothetical response Japan has a criminal organisation called Yakusa. Organised crime gangs exist beyond religion. Japan itself does not have muslims.
@4SVD6VQ3yrs3Y
Terrorists? we have had no terrorist attacks here. The threat is greatly exaggerated, it's a Government scare campaign.
@9FXXVTT7mos7MO
It shouldn't be isolated to a particular religion. Everyone should be screened and granted visa on its merit. Religion has nothing to do with terrorism.
@9FNH2K77mos7MO
if they are a refugee then they are fine but if they are an asylum seeker then no
@9FGQ2K27mos7MO
Depends on the immigrants background politically.
@9FGQ2827mos7MO
depending political background
@9FFQ8Q57mos7MO
No, government must improve its screening process for immigrants from “high risk” countries
@9FCVNM8One Nation7mos7MO
Doing a background check on all immigrants not just muslims
Only if they have a history of crime.
@9DFC78G8mos8MO
no, because this ends up being a ban based on ethnicity
@9D67BZ49mos9MO
Muslims shouldn’t be allowed in this country at all to be honest
No, but there should still be safety measures to be put in place before hand
@9CY26PH9mos9MO
No but they should be investigated properly
@9CT7Z6Z9mos9MO
No, but restrict immigration as a whole until the cost of living crisis is resolved.
@9CSYHM79mos9MO
no, by immigrating to Australia, they are stepping away from the wars, not trying to create more
@9CFCXTW10mos10MO
All immigrants should be checked against any terrorist activities regardless of religion or region
@9CCF8CVOne Nation11mos11MO
No muslims they don't follow our laws and ban building mosques
@99Z6H9B1yr1Y
No, but thorough background screening should be performed
@99Z6GQ91yr1Y
Long terms impacts on banning can lead to discrimination of people from certain ethnicities . Manage this by creating national and international security measure that monitor such activities
Perform thorough background checks for every person
@99YLL3S1yr1Y
No, but still increase the screening process
No, but tougher screening measures need to be made. Which also include post immigration tracking for screening
@99X4SSB1yr1Y
They can enter after proved no think of tellorism
@99X263S1yr1Y
What is this ridiculous question you racist pig.
@99W9YZP1yr1Y
yes but only the people who had dangerous things in their life
@99W9Y681yr1Y
no, there is enough security to make sure no one of any religion enters the country who are potential terrorists, half the time terrorists are not Muslim especially in English countries
@99VT5CZ1yr1Y
No, but there should be some form of testing to determine their mental health etc
@99V7VSG1yr1Y
No, but we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries also banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional
@99TT8GY1yr1Y
No, I understand the need for security checks but it should only last a month or two at most and provide the most help we can give to them. We need to respect their human dignity.
muslims are not terrorists
@99TS2KM1yr1Y
wtf are you guys racist, bunch of L's
@99T74K71yr1Y
We should keep them in a healthy place being looked after for a maximum of 7 days to unsure it is safe for them to enter the country
No, but should increase security screening first
@99R6L3T1yr1Y
No, but background & security checks must be done in order to enter
they should priorities improving screening out potential terrorists and improve them quicker.
@99MY7T31yr1Y
no, thats rude and racist.
@99MWPNF1yr1Y
Muslim people should go through the same process as every other foreigner entering Australia. Proof of identification and documentations.
@99M6G8M1yr1Y
no, but they should maybe be looked into just in case. however you cant judge them just based on their religiom
No, but they need thorough background checks
