It would be the biggest cut to migration in Australian history – By Josh Martin

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor says if he was prime minister he’d cut  650,000 temporary visas over four years, which would be the biggest cut to  migration in Australian history. 

The Coalition’s net overseas migration target (the balance of arrivals and  departures into Australia) would be 100,000 in 2028/29 , then 100,000 in  2029/30, 130,000 in 2030/31 and 160,000 in 2031/32. 

The Liberal Leader says the policy would match immigration to housing  completions and workforce needs.
