‘Australia’s immigration crisis isn’t about numbers – it’s about misinformation’ www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Australians took to the streets because they were scared by numbers that don’t exist

For decades now, public discourse about refugees and immigrants has become increasingly fractured, ugly and untrue. But just as government messaging has partly contributed to this situation, it could also help get us out of it. I explain how: theconversation.com/politicians-...

Politicians have scapegoated immigration for decades. It’s time to flip the script

Anti-immigration rallies across Australia are the culmination of years of political scaremongering. But better immigration messaging could change the trajectory.

Here's Ryan Edwards' preliminary assessment of the first Falepili Union visa ballot from Tuvalu to Australia. Although 80% of the population applied, there is high-quality research explaining why not everyone moves and why people return. Read it here: devpolicy.org/the-first-fa...

The first Falepili Union visa ballot: a preliminary assessment - Devpolicy Blog from the Development Policy Centre

The Falepili Union treaty visa won’t necessarily lead to depopulation and brain drain, and offers large economic benefits to Tuvaluans, says Ryan Edwards.
