澳大利亚一国党领导人保琳·汉森提出计划，将在三年内削减75万临时签证持有者1。该方案涉及国际学生和毕业生两个主要群体，其中国际学生签证人口拟从约59万人降至35万人，毕业生签证人口则从约27万人降至4万人1。澳大利亚目前共有约300万临时签证持有者1。
这一政策招致强烈反对。澳大利亚商工会主席Andrew McKellar指出该政策相当于"COVID级别的经济冲击"1，而环境部长Murray Watt则表示这是"摧毁澳大利亚经济、推入衰退的配方"1。国际学生2025年产生约550亿澳元教育出口收入1，大幅削减将对该产业造成显著影响。
学者指出，临时签证持有者在澳大利亚从未拥有投票权1，该群体因缺乏选举权而容易成为政治攻击的目标。
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has unveiled a plan to reduce the number of temporary visa holders in Australia by 750,000 over three years, with international students and graduates facing the steepest cuts 1. Under the proposal, the international student visa population would decline from approximately 590,000 to 350,000, while graduate visa numbers would fall from around 270,000 to just 40,000 1. This policy targets a segment of Australia's approximately 3 million temporary visa holders 1.
The proposed reductions have drawn sharp criticism from business and political figures over economic concerns. Australia's Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief Andrew McKellar characterized the impact as equivalent to "a COVID-level economic shock," particularly given that international students generated approximately $55 billion in education export revenue in 2025 1. Environment Minister Murray Watt described the policy as "a recipe for destroying the Australian economy and pushing it into recession" 1. Scholars have noted that temporary visa holders, who lack voting rights, become vulnerable targets for political campaigns 1.
