Australia will never be a monoculture’: Taylor defends migration cuts

Key points

• Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has told multicultural media that Australia will never be a monoculture. He promised to call out racism as the Coalition pursues deep cuts to migration.
• Taylor said the Coalition would exclude migrants who did not accept core civic values, but rejected discrimination based on race or religion. He said the cuts were a temporary correction to give housing and infrastructure time to catch up.
• Taylor criticised comments by Pauline Hanson questioning whether there were good Muslims, which police found did not meet the threshold for prosecution.
