Islamic group: Migrants should get taxpayer subsidies to visit overseas relatives
Pay for our trips home - the Islamic Women's Welfare Association by: John Masanauskas From: Herald Sun February 13, 2012 12:00AM 286
NEW migrants should get taxpayer subsidies to visit overseas relatives, an Islamic group has told the Federal Government.
The Islamic Women's Welfare Association also says Muslims prefer to live close to their own people and Australia should consider how to "facilitate the purchase of homes for new migrants".
In a submission to a federal multicultural inquiry, the association has urged the Government to give tax deductions to newly arrived migrants so they can visit relatives in their homelands.
"Migrants face a lot of sacrifices such as having to travel long distances to visit relatives, spending on communication costs, missing out on some events occurring in native countries etc," the submission said.
"This loss should be compensated by the Government in one way or the other to retain migrants in their country of adoption."

Aussies pay for New York slave trade memorial
TAXPAYERS will pay about $150,000 towards a New York memorial to the slave trade as part of Kevin Rudd's bid for a United Nations seat.
In the latest example of lavish spending to win votes from Caribbean and African countries, about $70,000 was quietly pledged in December towards the memorial, to be built at the UN's headquarters.
The Opposition slammed the $150,000 spend as a "misuse" of taxpayers' money and said it formed part of the Foreign Minister's "blatant" attempt to secure a seat on the UN Security Council.
