MIGRATION: ‘Dutton says Australia won't 'surrender our sovereignty' by signing UN migration deal’, Guardian, 24 July 2018

Australia will not sign a United Nations migration agreement it helped negotiate 'in its current form', Peter Dutton has declared, insisting it is a matter of sovereignty. Confirming the contents of an article which appeared in 'The Australian' earlier this week, the home affairs minister told Sydney radio station 2GB that Australia would not sign the UN global compact for migration, which aims to address migration issues in a 'safe, orderly and regular' way, if it stayed in its present incarnation.
