Live: Taylor says 'vested interests' won't stop Coalition from cutting migration
Angus Taylor has hit back at business sector criticism of the Coalition's plan to bring down net overseas migration. Follow live.
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has dismissed business sector concerns over the Coalition's plan to reduce net overseas migration. Taylor emphasized that the government's intelligence and security agencies will be provided with necessary resources to identify and deport individuals who have overstayed their visas, contrary to the alleged use of "ICE-style" tactics.
One Nation, a minor party, proposed a migration plan that could save renters nearly $3,000 annually by cutting temporary visas and reducing net migration to approximately 100,000 in the first two years of government. Both the Coalition and One Nation argue that their policies will focus on skills development, addressing housing shortages, and improving the economy, rather than being driven by vested interests.
