Dr Anne Aly, Federal Minister for Multicultural Affairs, has questioned the opposition's proposed migration policy, asking whether it could exclude essential workers such as doctors, nurses and teachers. “You cannot predetermine the contribution a person is going to make to this country simply based on their ethnicity, skin colour and which country they come from,” she said, responding to the Liberal Party's policy announced by Angus Taylor. - "ਤੁਸੀਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਹੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੇ ਮੂਲ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦੇ ਅਧਾਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਇਹ ਨਿਰਧਾਰਿਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਕਿ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਆਉਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਿੰਨਾ ਯੋਗਦਾਨ ਪਾਵੇਗਾ। ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਅਧਿਆਪਕਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਪਾਬੰਦੀ ਲਗਾਓਗੇ? ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਡਾਕਟਰਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਪਾਬੰਦੀ ਲਗਾਓਗੇ?", ਬਹੁ-ਸਭਿਆਚਾਰਕ ਮਾਮਲਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਘੀ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਐਨ ਐਲੀ ਨੇ ਵਿਰੋਧੀ ਧਿਰ ਦੇ ਨੇਤਾ ਐਂਗਸ ਟੇਲਰ ਦੀ ਪਰਵਾਸੀ ਨੀਤੀ ਦਾ ਤਿੱਖਾ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ। ਐਸ ਬੀ ਐਸ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨਾਲ ਇੰਟਰਵਿਊ ਵਿੱਚ, ਮੰਤਰੀ ਨੇ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਤੇਲ ਸੰਕਟ ਵਿਚਾਲੇ ਛੋਟੇ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਰਾਹਤ ਪੈਕੇਜ, ਨਸਲਵਾਦ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਕਈ ਮੁੱਦਿਆਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਵੀ ਗੱਲ ਕੀਤੀ। ਪੂਰਾ ਇੰਟਰਵਿਊ ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਸੁਣੋ...

A remote Australian outpost more than 3,000 kilometres from Perth, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are facing an uncertain future. Climate modelling predicts the low-lying atoll, home to around 600 residents, could become uninhabitable within 50 years. About 460 of those residents are Cocos Malays, whose ancestors were brought to the islands generations ago as indentured labourers by the Clunies-Ross family, paid in company-issued tokens. Despite that history, the community has preserved a distinct culture and way of life that endures today. Following a United Nations-supervised vote in the 1980s, the Cocos Malays chose to integrate with Australia. Since that time, it is the isolation that has helped preserve the islands unique cultural identity. In this extended edition of Weekend One on One, Federal Minister for Local Government and Territories Kristy McBain speaks with SBS's Christopher Tan, following the release of the Government's Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan — the final report assessing the threats facing the Cocos Islands.

On this episode, we sit down with Mandy Gull-Masty, Canada’s Federal Minister of Indigenous Services – and a leader whose approach to politics is deeply rooted in community, tradition, and opening doors for the next generation. We get into the realities of being a woman in politics, and how those challenges can be even more intense for Indigenous and diverse women. It’s an honest conversation about scrutiny, resilience, and what it really takes to lead when you’re not just representing a riding, but entire communities who see themselves in you. But we also go beyond the title. Mandy shares the personal moments that shaped her path, the opportunities she chose to step into (even when they felt daunting), and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

Amid heated political debates around immigration policies, Federal Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Dr Anne Aly, emphasised the importance of politicians choosing their words carefully. Stating that there has been a rise in anti-migration sentiment, Dr Aly said that the appointment of Jacinta Nampijinpa Price could be interpreted as an 'endorsement' of some of Ms Price's previous comments. Ms Price had earlier stated that the government is accepting a 'large number' of Indian migrants to boost votes for the Labour Party. Dr Aly called the claim "false" and said that migration policies are not based on voting preferences.
