Coalition boxed in by working holiday visa policy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Coalition’s opposition to tighter working holiday visa rules is at odds with its lower migration target, leaving few politically palatable options for achieving it. Dr Abul Rizvi writes. THE PLETHORA of conflicting views on Working Holiday Maker (WHM) visa policy is sure to have made heads spin. They range from the flat-out wrong (Senator Matt Canavan’s argument that WHMs are not part of net overseas migration, or NOM) to the bewildering (Labor’s decision to initially pause processing and no
One Nation’s migration maths doesn’t add up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One Nation’s plan to slash temporary migration by 750,000 promises dramatic cuts, but its numbers, assumptions and economic consequences don’t add up. Dr Abul Rizvi reports.

THE AUSTRALIAN IS REPORTING a Government leak that the Minister for Immigration will in future have to report quarterly to Cabinet on progress towards its net overseas migration (NOM) target. That is an extraordinary transformation for a Government that in 2023 insisted NOM was not something it managed. In May 2023, when asked about the surge in
Australia’s major parties converge on net migration targets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Labor, the Coalition and One Nation are edging closer on net migration targets as political realities collide with immigration rhetoric. Dr Abul Rizvi writes. AS MEDIA SCRUTINY of the immigration policies of Labor, the Coalition and One Nation intensify, the net migration targets of the three are converging. Indeed, they are not nearly as far apart as was the case just a few weeks ago. While we do not yet know what policy changes Labor will announce when Immigration Minister Tony Burke finally a
