But he said last year there's been a vacuum of leadership from the government on this, and that has allowed these perceptions to grow.

Gary HardgraveHOST
What do you think? At 24 to 10, look, as a former minister in the migration...
Gary HardgraveHOST
When Philip Ruddock and I were running the Immigration Department 25 years ago, I was very conscious of the fact that people in regional Australia needed backpackers, itinerant workers, however you want to express it.
Gary HardgraveHOST
They brought in this Pacific Islands labour scheme to try and allow people from the Pacific Islands to come and do stuff.
Gary HardgraveHOST
that we couldn't get hands on the ground to do.
Gary HardgraveHOST
Thank you for your time.
Anne WebsterGUEST
Oh, thank you, Gary.
Anne WebsterGUEST
And you were talking about the golden era when you and Philip Ruddock had things under control, not what we have right now.
Gary HardgraveHOST
We were talking to people saying, what do you want out of your migration system? How do we nation build, as Philip Ruddock's new book is called, Nation Building? We're not doing nation building here.

Gary HardgraveHOST
We're now finding new Labor voters seems to be the priority.
Jessie McCroneGUEST
And to your point, Stephen, we can't just ignore migration.
Jessie McCroneGUEST
And one of the people that I am going to call out this week is Philip Ruddock, and I hate myself for doing this, but he's released a book.
Jessie McCroneGUEST
And part of his interviews is part of it.
Jessie McCroneGUEST
He said...
Michael McLarenHOST
How low can we go while still maintaining balance? Now, the coalition are yet to formally announce their entire policy.
Michael McLarenHOST
And it might be interesting to get Philip Ruddock's take on where he thinks his old party should go.
Michael McLarenHOST
But we know what Labor want to do.
Michael McLarenHOST
We know what One Nation claim they would do if they are in power.
Michael McLarenHOST
Anyway, Philip, reflecting on years and years of parliamentary service and how he came to his opinions on what can be a very difficult and rather thankless portfolio, let's be honest.
Michael McLarenHOST
but one which is critical to the nation's success.
Michael McLarenHOST
So I'll speak to Philip Ruddock in the second hour of the program.
Michael McLarenHOST
Trent Nicolich will be with us, our motoring expert for drive.
Michael McLarenHOST
to exercise.
Michael McLarenHOST
But one person who knows a lot about the importance of that calibration is our longer serving immigration minister, Philip Ruddock.
Michael McLarenHOST
Now, of course, Philip oversaw the immigration portfolio from 1996 when the coalition came to power all the way through to 2003 under the Howard government.
Michael McLarenHOST
Today, he's releasing his political memoir.
Philip RuddockGUEST
And they have a unique Muslim-based tradition.
Philip RuddockGUEST
church out at Marsden Park in Sydney and the people have been great Australians in fact one of the young men who worked in the Bondi shootings to constrain the individuals involved and lost his life was from the Amadean community and they will represent this function again today they are Australians who've made a significant role in populating Australia Our refugee and resettlement programs.
Michael McLarenHOST
You do write in the book, of course, about how the Howard government, and you were the immigration minister, tried to recalibrate, I think I can say, recalibrate the immigration portfolio from one focused on family reunion, as it sort of was, toward one where skilled migration was... at its core.
Michael McLarenHOST
Some would look back, though, Philip, and say that process, and that certainly allowed a lot of the universities to bring in lots of students and so on and so forth, really laid the groundwork for some of the numerical challenges that we face today in the immigration portfolio.
John StanleyHOST
The immigration conversation.
John StanleyHOST
Philip Ruddock, who was the immigration minister with John Howard, he's put out a book largely in defence of immigration and trying to bring people to this country.
John StanleyHOST
And the background of it is, of course, was that Philip Ruddock and John Howard in the early part of this century changed the nature of our immigration intake.
John StanleyHOST
They stopped people coming by boat, but then they started taking more people from a humanitarian intake.
John StanleyHOST
That was part of the trade-off.
John StanleyHOST
But he was on the afternoon show with Michael McLaren in Sydney this afternoon, Sydney and Brisbane.
John StanleyHOST
Michael, in fact, he's broadcasting right across the network like we do.
John StanleyHOST
But he was talking to Philip Ruddock about his new book.
