Key Facts
Labor will cut net overseas migration through new rules but won’t lower the target below current levels.

Critics warn that focusing on migrants may fuel fear and division rather than solve real social issues.
The policy changes coincide with political competition, with Labor and One Nation adjusting to public opinion shifts.
