How much trouble can an immigration minister stir up?
Crikey.com.au Sudanese community member Gatwech Puoch writes on Crikey.com.au
Immigration Minister Kevin Andrew’s remarks last week — about Sudanese people facing difficulties to integrate and adjust into Australian mainstream community, and the reduction of Sudanese refugee and special humanitarian intake to 30% — were received with great disappointment by many Africans, particularly the “Sudanese” all over Australia.
Mr Andrews’ timing was utterly inappropriate.

This has had a huge effect on Sudanese community members across Victoria.
