The Guardian Australia reports that Liberal senator Barnaby Joyce has criticized One Nation colleague David Farley for a "rookie mistake" after Farley claimed the party's net migration target was 130,000, with an additional allowance for 100,000 migrant workers. Joyce described the rightwing party's approach as "all over the shop" with migration targets, indicating a lack of attention to detail.
Farley, who recently won the Farrer seat for Pauline Hanson's One Nation party, had stated that the party's net migration target was "not too different" from Labor's, leading to the controversy.
