Xenophobia, like equality or discrimination, are words that need context.  You don't select a spouse equally, you single out the one that best suits you.  It's not equality when you choose one person to marry; it's actually discrimination.  But the context is, you only want one spouse.

Likewise, it's not xenophobia to reserve certain privileges to citizens.  This is especially true in positions of a critical nature, such as people who might come into contact with classified material.

DO I think that to do an internship for a role, with the federal gov't that you need citizenship to hold the real role, you should be a citizen? ... Yes

it's a RW gov't that's making this rule so I would happily bag them out but .... it is actually a rather sensible rule

it not xenophobic since it has nothing to do with race.   
It doesn't even matter where you were born, as long as you have got citizenship when you apply for the internship.

The point is, you are on stolen land and have no right to decide who can come there

Only the indegeneous can

Its time we gave back the power to the indegeneous and fucked off out of there, all these Australian twats

LOL
SO your anti Multicultural and anti reality 

Considering that over a third of Aussies are mixed race where do you suppose we go ?

or are you proposing genocide of 24 million people

the population data the Australian Bureau of Statistics collects: Mixed relationships, i.e. where one partner is Aboriginal.

The ABS found that “mixed couples as a proportion of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander couples have increased over time from 64% of all couples in 1996 to 70% in 2001, 71% in 2006 and 74% in 2011”.
