Angus Taylor's attempts to draw a clear dividing line between "deserving" citizens and "undeserving" non-citizens will fail because no such line can be drawn. Thank you @byjackrevell.bsky.social for including this vital perspective and context. READ: www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

For Jinghua Qian, no amount of economic benefit migrants provide will ever be sufficient for politicians determined to divide the population by race.

The 39-year-old told SBS News they didn't much think about the loss of Chinese citizenship when they arrived in Australia as a child in 1996.

"I am Australian, that's just reality, it's not an aspiration," they said.

"At the same time, I know that in the eyes of Angus Taylor and his ilk, I'll always be a migrant no matter how long I've been here. I'll only ever be conditionally Australian.

"Because this is not really about citizenship — it's about race. There's nothing I can give up — not my nationality, not my language or culture — that will make me an Australian without caveat, without an asterisk."

They note that the renouncing of citizenship in exchange for security in Australia is not simply about identity but has many practical implications too.

"When my granddad died, I couldn't just book the first affordable flight to go to his funeral, I had to go to the visa office with a copy of his death certificate," they said.

It's a good day when @mrjamesob.bsky.social is resharing one of your stories — even if it is an utterly ridiculous one.

ChatGPT's knowledge cutoff means that it's something of a time capsule. One user on Reddit fed it a number of recent headlines to see how it would react and the response is a pretty striking illustration of just how far US politics have drifted from international precedent.
