Alan Kohler said on Insiders recently that if immigration was tied to housing construction - as Angus Taylor proposed - immigration levels would actually increase. And he's right! @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol

Why Angus Taylor’s migration cap doesn’t add up

While we are still a long way from the PM’s promise to get net migration back to pre-pandemic levels, the rubbish being produced by the Daily Mail & the Coalition plucking net migration targets out of thin air don’t help public understanding of the issue.
independentaustralia.net
Why the Daily Mail is wrong on net migration in 2024-25
Despite sensationalist claims, a close analysis of visa trends, movement data and ABS estimates shows net migration in 2024–25 is significantly lower than reported.

Dutton’s statement today tries to suggest Net Migration under him will be 100,000 less than under Labor but without specifying an actual target for 25-26 or 26-27 or the policies to get to that target. Treating Aussies like mugs.
