  "account": "One Nation is facing scrutiny over its migration targets, after an MP stated the party plans to include an extra 100,000 individuals annually in its calculations. Farrer MP David Farley, who won Sussan Ley's former seat, explained that One Nation's policy aims to reduce net overseas migration from 225,000 to 130,000 over four years. This target, however, excludes migrants brought in under a Pacific scheme, aged-care nurses, and other in-demand skilled workers, who would add an additional 100,000 arrivals. Mr. Farley emphasized that the party focuses on the net migration number in its true form, while also considering existing programs that have benefited the economy for over a decade. Cabinet minister Chris Bowen rejected the idea of redefining net overseas migration, stating he finds the approach consistent with the government's current strategy. Opposition immigration spokesman Jonno Duniam urged voters to receive a clear explanation of One Nation's immigration policy, calling it a vital issue affecting housing, infrastructure, services, wages, and jobs. One Nation's difficulty answering this fundamental question highlights the party's challenge in providing a concrete plan for immigration management.",
