"Kim Beazley has sought to outflank the Government in the debate about values by calling for people coming to Australia to agree to a 'values' statement as a visa condition. This statement should be included on the visa form, with people 'required to sign off on those values', the Opposition Leader proposed yesterday. Prime Minister John Howard has criticised a small section of the Muslim community for failing to integrate, including not adhering to Australian values such as respect for women."
