In this hour of need, contemplating a cut to Australia’s refugee intake is cruel populism
Confusion and politics aside, Australia can’t pretend to be removed from the world – and the millions of people in need of sanctuary Messy politics aside, this much is clear: Australia is being cruelly parsimonious in resettling people, at a moment when it is of greatest global need.
