Coalition to slash net migration to 100,000 to counter One Nation surge

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has finalized a plan to cut net overseas migration to 100,000 in the first year of government—a sharp reduction aimed at blunting Pauline Hanson’s momentum. The policy targets international student numbers while protecting regional backpackers, eventually linking migration levels to annual housing completions. We explore the economic risks to the university sector and whether this hard-right pivot can recapture voters who have defected to One Nation.
