False Citizenship Claims Fuel Anti-Immigration Rally
According to recent data, nearly a million migrants who arrived in Australia between 2022/23 and 2023/24 will be invited to become citizens over the next two years.
However, AAP FactCheck reveals that this claim is false, as the figures primarily include temporary migrants who are not yet eligible to apply for citizenship.
Permanent visas, the precursor to citizenship, are granted at a much lower rate.
- The false claims have spread across social media platforms, including X and Facebook.
- These claims are being used to promote an upcoming anti-immigration march planned for major cities across Australia on October 19.
AAP FactCheck previously debunked similar false claims about immigration that were used to promote an earlier anti-immigration protest in August.
AUTHOR'S SUMMARY: False citizenship claims spark anti-immigration rally in Australia.
