Nationals MP George Christensen and independent Bob Katter have called for a ban on Middle Eastern and North African migrants. Police allege Frenchman Smail Ayad cried out "Allahu Akbar" during the north Queensland backpacker hostel attack that left 21-year-old British backpacker Mia Ayliffe-Chung dead and another British man, Tom Jackson, 30, fighting for life. "The time has come now to stop people from those countries coming to Australia," Mr Katter told Sky News. Mr Christensen said Mr Katter was right. Mr Christensen wrote on his Facebook page.
