Immigration verified
Batt promotes the Coalition's Australian Values Migration Plan, stating "Since Labor came to power, Australia's migration program has been in chaos. Numbers have been too high, and standards have been too low," and "To protect our way of life and restore Australians' standard of living, we must reduce immigration numbers and lift migration standards." He supports a values-based migration system that prioritises the Australian Values Statement in assessing permanent visa applications.
Faith & religion verified
David Batt explicitly identifies as Catholic, describing his Catholic faith journey in his first parliamentary speech: his mother took him to church at St Mary's which 'formed the cornerstone in my faith journey', he returned to regular Sunday mass at Bundaberg's Holy Rosary about ten years ago, and remains rostered to clean the church.
