Immigration verified
In an address to the Migration Institute of Australia, Scarr (Shadow Minister for Immigration) argues net overseas migration is 'materially higher than a range of measures of long-term sustainable levels' and points to research suggesting around 160,000-220,000 annually as optimal for GDP per capita. He frames concern about immigration numbers as driven by housing and economic pressures rather than opposition to multiculturalism, calls for evidence-based debate that does not 'inflame emotion,' and celebrates Australia's refugee resettlement legacy.
Foreign policy & aid verified
Scarr has stated he supports "a two-state solution that is negotiated between the parties and would provide both Israelis and Palestinians with peace and security within internationally recognized borders", arguing the issue can only be resolved by negotiation between the parties.
