What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Angus Taylor unveiled a hardline immigration policy that significantly cuts net overseas migration (Nom). This plan cuts 60,000 more people from Nom than reductions previously proposed by Peter Dutton. The policy would reduce the number of temporary visa holders by about 650,000 people over four years.
