Coalition and One Nation chase each other down the immigration rabbit hole, PM warns

The Coalition and One Nation are competing to restrict welfare payments to citizens only, with Albanese warning the two parties are chasing each other down an immigration 'rabbit hole.'

The Coalition's decided to beat One Nation by becoming One Nation — a limbo contest against a snake, where the bar only goes one way. Scratch the citizenship line and you find the same talk that's been kicking round since the boats. Menzies built a broad church to keep these people inside the tent. This mob's pitched it in Pauline's backyard and wonders why she's charging rent.
