What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

The Coalition announced proposals to reduce net overseas migration from nearly 300,000 to approximately 100,000 annually if they win the next election, which would be the largest cut in Australian history. The Coalition also plans to restrict international students' ability to bring partners and children, and proposes abolishing temporary graduate visas. Opposition Leader Angus Taylor stated that the policy aims to center the immigration system on 'Australian values'.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposals represent a significant shift in Australia's immigration framework, directly impacting the flow of international talent and students. The Coalition's plan to deport roughly 77,000 unlawful non-citizens is also part of the broader policy shift. These changes are occurring amid increased political competition in Australia.

Political competition is heating up in Australia as One Nation campaigns for power and financial ties face government scrutiny.
