Taylor's hardline immigration plan shifts Australian politics right, boosts One Nation
Guardian WorldLO·AU·about 11 hours ago
Australia's opposition Coalition is set to announce significantly reduced overseas migration targets, below Labor's levels but above One Nation's proposed 130,000 cap, aiming to curb support for the right-wing party. The policy, to be unveiled by opposition leader Angus Taylor, will preserve working holidaymaker places and prioritize skilled migration. This marks a notable shift in the Coalition's stance, reflecting electoral pressure from One Nation.
