"The National party’s Senate leader, Bridget McKenzie, has used an appearance
at a conference of the populist right in London to declare that conservatives
are “in a war” against mass immigration, “leftwing globalists” and “woke”
institutions, and to urge rightwing movements across the English-speaking world
to unite and fight back.
McKenzie was speaking at the inaugural CPAC GB in London, a British spinoff of
the influential US Conservative Political Action Conference, organised by the
former British prime minister Liz Truss. She gave a speech on Saturday morning
before appearing on a panel chaired by Truss, alongside other rightwing
figures.
The One Nation leader, Pauline Hanson, also attended the event, part of a
British tour that has drawn sustained criticism at home.
McKenzie’s speech focused on Australia’s immigration program, saying Labor
would oversee 2 million additional arrivals between 2022-23 and 2027-28 and
arguing the country should be more selective about who was allowed to settle
there.
The federal Labor government has left Australia’s permanent migration level
steady at 185,000 arrivals this year. Net overseas migration fell to 306,000
people in 2024–25, down from 429,000 a year earlier, according to Australian
Bureau of Statistics data."
