澳大利亚一国党近日提出在三年内削减75万临时移民的方案，涵盖学生、毕业生、技能临时和桥接签证等多种类别1。该提议立即招致农业、商业和教育等关键行业的反对，相关领导人担忧这一举措将加剧劳动力短缺、打击经济增长，甚至引发衰退1。
澳大利亚工商会首席执行官将此方案比作"COVID级别的经济冲击"，称其将带来无任何补偿的严重后果1。农业联合会首席执行官警告，削减移民可能导致农产品价格上升25%1。商业委员会首席表示该政策对经济增长造成"重大不利影响"1。住房行业协会指出，澳大利亚目前已存在超过83,000名技能住房贸易工人的短缺1。政府官员和行业代表呼吁不应将移民政策政治化1。
一国党为其削减方案进行了辩护，称该计划将移民水平恢复至2017年水平1。
Australia's One Nation party has put forward a proposal to reduce temporary migrants by 750,000 over three years, targeting cuts across student visas, graduate visas, skilled temporary visas, and bridging visas 1. The sweeping reduction has prompted alarm among business, agricultural, and education leaders, who warn the move could intensify labor shortages and threaten economic growth 1.
Agricultural sector leaders have raised particular concerns about the proposal's impact on food production. The chief executive of the Agricultural Federation warned that such cuts could drive up produce prices by as much as 25 percent 1. Similarly, the chief of the Business Council cautioned that the policy would likely inflict "major adverse effects" on economic growth 1, while the chief executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry described the measure as a "COVID-level economic shock" with no offsetting benefits 1. The housing industry association has highlighted an existing crisis, noting that Australia already faces a shortage of over 83,000 skilled housing trade workers 1.
In defending the proposal, One Nation has framed the cuts as a return to migration levels seen in 2017 1. Government officials and industry representatives have called for migration policy to be removed from political contention, arguing that such decisions should prioritize economic stability rather than partisan debate 1.
