  "account": "Several political parties, including the Coalition, Labor, and One Nation, are currently at odds with each other regarding their stance on reducing Australia's humanitarian visa program. The government has not yet released its planned migration crackdown, while the Coalition and One Nation have yet to specify which visa programs they intend to reduce. One Nation has suggested cutting international student visas, but they have not detailed where they will make cuts beyond that. The Coalition, led by Angus Taylor, has expressed openness to reducing refugee intake, despite previous statements indicating that the refugee intake would not be touched. Meanwhile, opposition shadow ministers remain steadfast in their belief that refugees should not be a target of the Coalition's migration policy. The debate surrounding the reduction of the humanitarian visa program is further complicated by differing opinions on which communities and industries will suffer from potential cuts.",
  "summary": "A messy week of debate on migration has now drawn in the Coalition after Opposition Leader Angus Taylor left the door open to cuts to the refugee intake, a day after his frontbench colleague said humanitarian visas would not be touched.",
