Single frame. Angus Taylor at table with generic colleague at whiteboard holding marker. On whiteboard, two headings: “GOOD IMMIGRANTS” and “BAD IMMIGRANTS”. Under first: “# People like us; # Business people; # Wealthy people; # Cheap labour”. Nothing yet under second. Taylor says: “Well, we DON’T want the kinds of people that come from repressive terrorist regimes…” Colleague says: “You mean, the people most likely to need somewhere safe to flee to?”
