Text
Minister, you have repeatedly used the phrase "legitimate concerns" when talking about migration. There is nothing legitimate to be concerned about when you are talking about migration. There is misinformation that definitely needs to be challenged and refuted. Will you commit to not again publicly using the phrase "legitimate concerns" when you talk about migration? Ministers need to be careful about language and not give a wink and a nod to people who may be engaged in racism or are perhaps racist thugs.
