Pauline Hanson comments on immigration cuts; industry warns of talent gap

Pauline Hanson spoke at the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry business leader’s summit, referencing One Nation’s proposal to cut immigration by 750,000 places over three years, including cuts to skilled migrants and international students. A recruiter responded on LinkedIn, stating that skilled migrants are critical for filling the talent gap, particularly for accounting firms.
