Angus Taylor, the opposition leader, asserts that "vested interests" will not prevent the Coalition from implementing its plan to cut Australia’s net overseas migration (NOM) numbers significantly. The proposed policy aims to reduce NOM to 100,000 in the first two years of government and increase it to 160,000 by the fourth year. Taylor defends this approach against criticism from business groups who argue that such measures could harm the economy and workforce balance.

Story summary
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor is set to unveil a significant reduction in Australia's migration policy, aiming to cut net overseas migration (NOM) to 100,000 per year during the first election year, rising gradually thereafter. This plan targets temporary visa holders and aims to reduce their numbers by approximately 650,000 over four years. The announcement follows similar policies proposed by Labor and One Nation, with Taylor aiming to differentiate his approach from Pauline Hanson's more stringent measures that propose a NOM target of 130,000 annually. Taylor’s strategy is seen as an attempt to regain voter support lost to the anti-immigration One Nation party amid economic challenges such as high inflation and interest rates reaching a 15-year-high.
