The Coalition plans to announce its migration policy today, following Labor's and One Nation's recent announcements aimed at curbing net overseas migration. Reports suggest the Coalition intends to reduce annual migration to 100,000 initially, with increases tied to housing completions. One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has commented that this policy mirrors One Nation’s stance, implying endorsement of their proposal.

Story summary
Angus Taylor, leader of the Coalition in Australia, plans to unveil a migration policy on Tuesday that aims to slash net overseas migration to about 100,000 people annually for the first year after an election. This strategy is intended to challenge the rise of One Nation, whose leader, Pauline Hanson, proposes a target of 130,000 migrants per year. The Coalition's policy will also focus on cracking down on overstayers and temporary non-essential workers while maintaining working holidaymaker places and prioritizing highly skilled migrants. This move comes after Labor announced reforms that faced criticism from economists over their potential impact on the economy. Taylor's decision to sharply reduce migration numbers is seen as a direct response to One Nation's growing political momentum, aiming to differentiate the Coalition’s stance while addressing voter concerns about cultural and economic impacts of high immigration rates.

AI executives to appear before parliamentary inquiry
Executives from Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google will today appear at a parliamentary inquiry examining the risks and upsides of artificial intelligence.
Labor MP Jo Briskey, who chairs the joint select committee into AI, says it will give parliamentarians an opportunity to question OpenAI executives about a hack on a Services Australia portal in June.
The federal government became aware of the breach when the artificial intelligence company informed Australian in September.
OpenAI made a public apology to the Australian government for the hack.
Speaking to ABC News Breakfast, Briskey says the committee will be interested to know what steps the company has taken to prevent a similar hack from reoccurring.
"I think it's important that everyone appearing before the inquiry across our public hearings come prepared to answer questions that committee members have of them," Briskey says.
