澳大利亚一国党周一发布了一份激进的移民政策提案，目标是在三年内实现净海外移民（NOM）为负值，同时将临时移民人口减少75万人。1该政策包括大幅削减学生签证配额，从现有的59万人降至35万人；毕业生签证从27万人降至4万人；以及建立一个新的单一学生毕业生签证，每年仅提供2万个名额，有效期18个月。1此外，临时技能工人签证总人口（含家庭成员）预计从26.3万人减少至16万人，三年后净海外移民上限设定为13万，而现阶段约为30万。1
政府与反对党领导人对该政策的经济影响表示严重关切。1环境部长默里·瓦特称这项政策将"杀死澳大利亚经济"，自由党副领导人简·休姆则指出该政策可能导致经济衰退。1卫生部长马克·巴特勒警告称这将"摧毁"建筑、卫生和老年护理行业。1澳大利亚商业工业总商会首席执行官安德鲁·麦克凯勒将其影响描述为"COVID级别的经济冲击"。1移民专家阿布尔·里兹维则认为三年内减少75万临时移民"具有挑战性"。1
Australia's One Nation party released an aggressive immigration policy on Monday that would reverse net overseas migration over a three-year period 1. The proposal aims to achieve negative net overseas migration while reducing the temporary migrant population by 750,000 people 1.
The policy encompasses sweeping cuts across multiple visa categories. Student visa numbers would fall from 590,000 to 350,000, while graduate visas would drop from 270,000 to 40,000 1. One Nation proposes introducing a single combined student graduate visa limited to 20,000 places annually with an 18-month validity period 1. Temporary skilled worker visa populations, including family members, would decline from 263,000 to 160,000 1. After three years, One Nation would allow net overseas migration to rise to a cap of 130,000—compared with the current level of approximately 300,000 1.
Government and opposition leaders have warned the policy would be economically devastating. Environment Minister Murray Watts stated the plan would "kill the Australian economy," while Liberal deputy leader Jane Hume cautioned it could trigger a recession 1. Health Minister Mark Butler argued the policy would "destroy" the construction, health, and aged care sectors 1. The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's CEO Andrew McCaul warned the measures would inflict "a COVID-level economic shock" 1. Migration expert Abul Rizvi characterized reducing 750,000 temporary migrants within three years as "challenging" 1.
