One Nation Proposes Sharp Reduction in Australian Migrant Intake
One Nation’s proposal to slash 750,000 visas over three years has drawn sharp criticism from agricultural and government leaders over potential labor shortages. The newly detailed plan targets international students and family sponsorship, proposing strict caps and enforcement measures while exempting certain high-value academic and seasonal worker categories.
According to GN geopolitics/migration (en-US), the policy details now specify a hard cap of 100,000 international student visas annually and a three-month grace period for overstaying non-citizens to depart before facing permanent bans. The plan also introduces a restricted 'high-value' postgraduate visa for 15,000 students in science and medical fields while leaving Pacific seasonal worker programs untouched.
