The Coalition, led by senior Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie, has pledged not to cut working holiday visas while proposing to reduce permanent migration from 185,000 to 140,000 by 2025-26. Shadow immigration minister Dan Tehan indicated significant cuts to skilled migration, but assured that family stream intakes would remain untouched. Coalition leader Peter Dutton aims to decrease net overseas migration levels from 260,000 to 160,000, amidst criticisms linking increased immigration to rising housing prices, with ongoing discussions about which visa categories to target for reductions.
