 Re: Australia: Integration difficulties associated with Sudanese Refugees (Re: Mohamed Omer)

Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has branded Federal Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews as a politically-motivated racist for criticising Sudanese refugees
Mr Andrews says concerns about crime, gangs and tensions between African families have led to a cut in the number of African refugees accepted into Australia
Ms Bligh says the comments sound as though they have come out of America's deep south in the 1950s
"There is no more pure form of racism, and to have it come out of the mouth of the Immigration Minister of this country is something that I think Australians will see for what it is - a very transparent and desperate act in the lead up to a federal election," she said
Ms Bligh says she is shocked by the Immigration Minister's sweeping generalisations about Sudanese refugees
She says police statistics do not show a higher rate of criminal activity among Sudanese immigrants
"I've become very familiar with this community and to have them so viciously attacked by the Federal Immigration Minister is going to be very hurtful and painful to people who are trying to rebuild their lives after some of the most traumatic experiences that can be imagined," she said
Queensland Opposition Leader Jeff Seeney says Ms Bligh should butt out of federal issues and focus on running the state
Mr Seeney has refused to weigh into the debate, and says the Premier should have done the same
"I'm not going to buy into the argument either, I'm interested in the Queensland Government issues that I think the Premier should be concerning herself with," he said
