View from The Hill: One Nation would have more people leaving than entering Australia over three years
One Nation has released a radical policy that would see Australia reduce its temporary migrant population by 750,000.
One Nation has released a controversial policy stating that Australia should have a negative net overseas migration (NOM) for three consecutive years, resulting in more citizens leaving the country than entering. The policy includes reducing student intake, restricting family migration, attacking "visa hopping," and deporting illegal immigrants.
Once the negative NOM is achieved, it would return to a ceiling of 130,000 people. Currently, the NOM is around 300,000, with the government aiming to reduce it to 225,000 by 2027-28. This proposal comes before the major parties have unveiled their own migration policies.
