As deputy prime minister and Nationals MP for New England, Barnaby Joyce supported a campaign for the town of Armidale to be a site for resettling refugees. Now, as a member of One Nation, his party advocates for limiting migration to Australia to those who can speak English. But, Joyce told Guardian Australia’s Adeshola Ore, there ‘has to be a form of temperance with people who are in imminent threat of their lives ... I don’t think anyone is suggesting that if your house is completely burning down we’re going to lock the doors and keep you in there’
