The last time he was immigration minister, **Tony Burke** presided over record-high boat arrivals, more than one a day at their peak. Offshore immigration detention centres, which held precisely *one* person when **John Howard** was voted out, were bursting at the seams by the time Labor were given their marching orders. Add to that, that Burke is the foremost of Labor’s raft of senior MPs and ministers who are critically dependent on Muslim voters to hold on to their seat. We can all see where this is going to go. It’s starting already. > [Muslim leaders have urged](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/politics/muslim-leaders-put-fair-deal-for-palestinian-refugees-onus-on-new-minister-tony-burke/news-story/6b8963e6b61dcc7ec4112b777c88e9b8?ref=goodoil.news) new Home Affairs and Immigration Minister Tony Burke to ensure a “fair and consistent process” for refugees, ensuring as many Palestinians can be resettled “as a ­priority” and potential pathways if conditions worsen in southern Lebanon. It’s always about *them*. > Why should Australia be expected to do what every Arab state steadfastly refuses to? It was a very different tune from Muslim leaders when the Islamic State were slaughtering, slaving and raping their way through the world’s oldest Christian communities. Sydney Islamic community leader **Ahmed Kilani** whined: “You don’t ask a drowning person what your religion is before you save them.” So, in a savage twist, when the Australian government opened 12,000 places to refugees from Iraq and Syria, at least two-thirds of places went to Muslims, not the Christians they were persecuting so brutally. You just *know* that what Western Sydney’s Muslims demand, Labor will hand to them on a silver platter. > Welcoming the appointment were three peak Muslim bodies: the Australian Nat­ional Imams Council, Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, and Lebanese Muslim Association \[…\] > > They urged Mr Burke to improve pathways for people fleeing Gaza, potentially Lebanon and – \[AFIC chief executive **Kamalle Dabboussy**\] said – women and children in northeast Syria. So, Muslims, Muslims and Muslims. Does anyone think this will end well? They might ask, say, Jordan, where Palestinian refugees were responsible for the Black September uprising that nearly overthrew the Jordanian government and killed thousands. Or Lebanon, where Palestinian refugees started the Lebanese civil war. Or Kuwait, which expelled over 350,000 Palestinians who were accused of collaborating with invading Iraq. Or Egypt, which refuses Palestinian refugees on the basis of Hamas’ association with the outlawed Islamic Brotherhood.
