Sky News presenter Peta Credlin claims the Albanian Labor government is trying to use the visas to “buy votes” among Muslim activists in western Sydney and Melbourne.

“The last thing our country needs right now is to make it harder to integrate migrants who are angry and hostile towards others because of their religion,” Ms Credlin said.

“That is almost certain to happen under Anthony Albanese, who will try to use visas to buy votes in constituencies in western Sydney and Melbourne that were threatened in recent polls by Muslim activists.”
