PoliticsTaylor’s hardline immigration plan pushes Australian politics further right, benefiting One Nation

Coalition leader Angus Taylor has proposed cutting net overseas migration by 60,000 more people than Peter Dutton promised before the 2025 election, taking the figure below Pauline Hanson’s stated threshold. The plan would reduce temporary visa holders by about 650,000 over four years and halve humanitarian places. Business and asylum-seeker advocates questioned its feasibility and impact, while Hanson said major parties had been dragged toward the far right.
