The overall approach of the Government in this legislation is negative, as can be seen in the legislation's negative provisions and framework. It reflects the way the Government deals with the immigration issue. It is a crisis management approach. This can be seen in the way the legislation has been handled, in the way whole rafts of amendments were introduced at various stages and bits taken out of the legislation, and in the urgency with which the legislation on work permits was dealt with. That is a crisis management approach which is required because of the negative framework in place. I urge the Government to reconsider its approach and introduce a more comprehensive and positive overall framework for immigration legislation which puts economic immigration on a proper footing, that treats asylum seekers fairly and ensures they are protected and encouraged to seek asylum here and that also ensures efficiency and prevents abuse of the immigration system.
