flag Angus Taylor, grandson of a refugee- welcoming architect, now backs strict immigration limits, sparking debate over Australia’s identity.

flag Angus Taylor, grandson of Sir William Hudson—architect of Australia’s Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme—has drawn attention for advocating strict immigration controls, including potential regional bans and enhanced border checks, despite publicly honoring his grandfather’s legacy of welcoming postwar European refugees. flag Hudson, who led the 1949–1967 project, brought together displaced people from over 30 war-torn nations, fostering multicultural cooperation during a time of national urgency under the White Australia Policy. flag Taylor, now a senior Coalition leader, supports measures targeting those deemed hostile to Australian values, reflecting a shift amid rising anti-immigration sentiment. flag The contrast between Hudson’s inclusive vision and Taylor’s current stance has sparked debate over national identity, historical legacy, and the evolving role of immigration in Australia.
