The One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has repeatedly declared that he doesn’t ‘believe in multiculturalism’.

Joyce supported a campaign for the town of Armidale to become a refugee resettlement centre but, as a member of One Nation, his party advocates for a ‘monocultural’ Australia and for restricting migration to those who can speak English.
