Angus Taylor is preparing to present a new immigration policy for the Coalition partyroom on Tuesday, aiming to reduce net migration below 150,000 in the first year and increase it gradually to 160,000 by the fourth year. The plan focuses on cutting back on overstayers, students, temporary non-essential workers, reunited families, and lower-skilled migrants while prioritizing highly skilled immigrants. This move is seen as a direct response to One Nation's proposed migration target of 130,000 and its call for net negative migration.

Story summary
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor plans to release a new migration policy on Tuesday aimed at reducing net migration to around 100,000 in the first year if the Coalition wins the upcoming election. This is significantly lower than the current intake and aims to counter the growing popularity of One Nation under Pauline Hanson, who advocates for even stricter limits. Taylor's proposal includes cracking down on overstayers, visa hoppers, temporary non-essential workers, and reunited families, focusing more on highly skilled migrants over those with lower skills. The Coalition’s move comes after Labor faced criticism from economists over its handling of inflation and interest rates, which hit a 15-year high. This policy shift is part of the Coalition's broader strategy to regain voter support amid concerns about cultural changes and economic impacts related to migration levels.
