【14:30】Hi everybody it’s Bill Shorten here. I’m really looking forward to hearing your views and comments. “大家好,我是比尔·肖顿。我很期待听到你们的意见及评论。”
【14:37】Australia is an immigrant country. It is important though that when we do bring people to Australia that we do it in a proper fashion. “澳大利亚是一个移民国家。但重要的是,我们要用适当的方式把人们带到澳大利亚。”
【14:44】Australia needs to stand for its own two feet and think for itself. “澳洲必须足够自立,并多为自己找想。”
父母临时签证 / 幼儿教育相关
群里许多小伙伴对此前自由党的870临时父母签证有许多疑问,肖顿表示那是还未落实的新政!
【14:38】The Liberals promised a temporary sponsored visa to migrants before the last election and it’s still not available. Now, the Liberals want to limit this to one set of parents per household. “自由党在上次选举前承诺提供870临时父母签证,但目前还没有生效。而现在,自由党想把这个签证限制在“一对父母/每户”。
【14:42】 Early education is so important. The current Liberal Government cut childcare for 1 in 4 parents. Labor will create universal kindergarten for all three and four-year-olds. “早期教育很重要。目前自由党政府削减了四分之一的托儿费用。而工党将为所有三岁和四岁的儿童修建新的幼儿园。”
可以看到,群里也有很多看不下去的人民群众。而肖顿明确表示,“工党不支持难民。工党会在境外处理这些难民的事宜,同时确保这些难民得到得当的医疗护理。“ 并且,工党认为在难民医疗转移问题上,只会给予医生更多权力,而不会助长人口走私。同时肖顿还抨击了之前流传的“难民就医而致中国来的移民等待过久”的说法:
【14:46】Some very ignorant people have been saying that because we help sick refugees see the doctor, that means people waiting from China for family or skilled visas will be put down the list. That is not true, that is a lie. “一些非常无知的人说,因为我们帮助生病的难民就医,将导致在等待移民的家庭或技术签证的中国人等待过久。那不是真的,那是个谎言。“ 对待中国的态度
肖顿认为中国是澳大利亚的一个战略机遇,并表示非常希望能看到两国之间增进了解。
【14:58】I want young people from Chinese backgrounds to grow up loving this country but be in touch with the traditions of China. 我希望有中国背景的年轻人们能够热爱这个国家,并在成长过程中,也能够一直接触到中国的传统。
