Politicians across Australia’s political spectrum on Wednesday condemned Senator Fraser Anning, who used a Nazi euphemism in calling for a vote on banning Muslim immigration.CreditMick Tsikas/Epa, via Shutterstock

- SYDNEY, Australia — An Australian lawmaker invoked a Nazi euphemism for genocide on Tuesday, calling for a “final solution to the immigration problem” during a speech in Parliament in which he proposed a national plebiscite on banning all Muslims from entering the country.
“We as a nation are entitled to insist that those who are allowed to come here predominately reflect the historic European-Christian composition of society and embrace our language, culture and values as a people,” said Senator Fraser Anning, a member of Katter’s Australian Party, a small, conservative political party.
“The final solution to the immigration problem, of course,” Mr. Anning said in his first speech since his election, “is a popular vote.”
On Wednesday, leaders from across the political spectrum condemned Mr. Anning’s remarks. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, of Australia’s conservative Liberal Party, called them a “shocking insult” to the millions of Jews who perished in the Holocaust, and he used the moment to appeal to the country’s Muslim population.
Decades after Parliament phased out the so-called White Australia policy, which limited immigration by people of non-European descent, critics contend that racism is again creeping into the national discussion of the issue, with politicians scapegoating new migrants to score populist points.

Australian Racism has reached new heights. This time calling for end of Muslims in Australia by referencing to Nazi Germany's "Final solution".
