One Nation Reveals Plan to Cut Migration by 750k over Three Years
The party says tighter student and skilled visa rules would cut temporary migrants to 2017 levels and ease pressure on housing and services.
- On Monday, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson will unveil a plan to slash Australia's temporary visa population by more than 750,000 over three years, addressing the surge to three million holders since 2022.
- Under the Albanese government, temporary visa holders surged from two million in 2022 to roughly 3 million in 2026, prompting Senator Hanson to declare Australians have had "enough of mass migration."
- One Nation's plan caps student visa grants at 100,000 annually and restricts family sponsorship, while creating a new visa subclass for PhDs and select STEM research degrees to end "temporary visa hopping."
- Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke will outline Labor's separate policy overhaul this week, with the government discussing US-style visa lotteries and application fees for those seeking to come to Australia.
- Targeting a return to 2017 levels of approximately 2.1 to 2.2 million, the One Nation proposal includes a net overseas migration ceiling of 130,000 per year, reviewed annually.
