'Everyone Is on Edge' Amid One Nation Migration Policy Confusion
One Nation’s migration message is split, with a spokesperson saying the cap is 130,000 net arrivals while the party website still cites annual visas.
- On Monday, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson deleted a social media post detailing immigration targets from five months ago, deepening internal confusion as party MPs contradict each other over their signature migration policy.
- Following comments from Farrer MP David Farley on Sunday, One Nation's migration policy faced scrutiny after he suggested the target would be "not too different" from Labor's 225,000, prompting Hanson to walk back the remarks.
- While One Nation maintains a headline target of 130,000 net overseas migration, Farley revealed the party intends to exclude specific visa classes, including Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme workers, from that figure.
- Labor frontbencher Pat Conroy criticized the "policy incoherence," while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the party cannot "get their act together to have a serious policy on anything."
- The Multicultural Council expressed frustration, stating the debate lacks harmony, while other major parties also struggle to detail their own migration strategies amid intensifying national discussion on population growth.
