The Coalition is expected to unveil its migration policy, which includes deep cuts to immigration. According to The Guardian Australia, the opposition's target will be below Labor's but won't match One Nation's goal to limit net arrivals to 130,000.
The Coalition's policy aims to maintain working holidaymaker places and prioritise skills. The policy will be unveiled by Opposition Leader Angus Taylor after receiving signoff from Liberal and National MPs in a special party room meeting.
The new policy is part of the Coalition's attempts to dent growing support for One Nation. The announcement comes weeks after One Nation and Labor announced their own migration plans, as reported by ABC News AU.
