But we cannot be under any illusions about what our multicultural success is built upon. The reason Australians welcome high levels of immigration – the highest since the early post war period – is that we have confidence that our government is in control of our immigration program, deciding who can come here and ensuring that when they do the ....

Treasurer Scott Morrison has fudged his latest attempt to defend Australia’s banks against calls for a full Glass-Steagall separation of deposit-taking commercial banking from riskier financial activities.
In a 28 April letter to the Liberal Member for Longman Wyatt Roy, in response to a query from a Longman constituent about Glass-Steagall, Morrison claimed that Australia didn’t need Glass-Steagall as “the Australian financial system already exhibits a high degree of structural separation”.
That claim is a tacit admission that structural separation is necessary, so the only q ....
