Andrew Bragg stands by proposed migration limits – even as Liberal colleagues decline to back him in

Liberal senator Andrew Bragg has defended his proposal to limit net migration to 180,000 per year, despite opposition from his Coalition colleagues. In a recent speech, Bragg criticized the Morrison government's policies, arguing that a housing shortfall could be addressed by lowering the net overseas migration target. However, other members of the Coalition, including Angus Taylor, have declined to publicly back Bragg's target, which would be the lowest in the mid-2000s.
