澳大利亚内务部长托尼·伯克宣布了政府的移民政策改革举措。1根据新政策,配偶和子女将被限制为短期访客身份,不允许在澳大利亚申请永久居留。1此外,政府禁止学生签证持有人携带配偶和子女作为附带申请人,同时对第二、三年打工度假签证实施抽签制。1
根据数据统计,2025-26年度共有39,400个附带申请人随同学生签证获批(不含博士学位申请人),其中58%为男性,46%来自南亚。1这些附带申请人的净海外移民贡献仅为12,400人,其中54%已在澳大利亚。1
有评论指出,这些政策措施在本质上是对减少净海外移民的仓促反应,而非基于劳动力需求和基础设施影响的周密规划。1评论者强调,政策未能解决一个关键问题——如何有效管理澳大利亚的临时移民人口。1
Australia's Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke has unveiled a series of measures aimed at restricting temporary migration, including new limitations on family accompanying student visa holders and changes to working holiday visa pathways.1 The policy restricts spouses and dependent children to short-term visitor status, preventing them from applying for permanent residency while in Australia.1 Additionally, students will no longer be permitted to bring spouses and children as secondary applicants, a change that affects a substantial portion of the current cohort—in the 2025-26 financial year, 39,400 secondary applicants were approved for student visas excluding doctoral candidates, with 58 percent male and 46 percent originating from South Asia.1
The government has also introduced a ballot system for second and third-year working holiday visas.1 Commentary suggests the policy represents a reactive approach to reducing net overseas migration rather than a carefully planned response grounded in workforce requirements and infrastructure capacity assessment.1 Current data indicates that for 2025, this visa category accounts for only 12,400 net overseas migrants, with 54 percent already residing in Australia.1 Critics argue the policy fails to address a fundamental challenge: the management of Australia's temporary migrant population, a concern that Canada has increasingly grappled with as temporary residents now comprise approximately 5 percent of its total population.1
