澳大利亚联合党影子移民部长Angus Taylor周二宣布了一项激进的移民政策改革方案，计划将澳大利亚的年度净海外移民数量削减至130,000人，这一目标甚至超过了党主席Peter Dutton此前提出的160,000人削减目标1。该政策被称为"澳大利亚历史上最大规模移民削减"1，涉及广泛的签证制度调整，其中包括在四年内减少约650,000名临时签证持有人1，以及将人道主义签证名额从工党政府的20,000人年削减50%至10,000人1。根据Taylor的方案，前两年的净海外移民将维持在100,000人，第三年升至130,000人，第四年达到160,000人1。
这一政策立即引发多方反弹。澳大利亚商会首席执行官Andrew McKellar批评该政策"目标武断，将伤害经济"1，而寻求庇护者资源中心代表Jana Favero指出Taylor"与日常澳大利亚人脱节"1。一国党领导人Pauline Hanson则表示主要政党必须被"拖着"进行这些削减，暗示对政策可信度的质疑1。
Australian Shadow Minister for Immigration Angus Taylor unveiled a hardline immigration policy on Tuesday that would reduce net overseas migration to 130,000 people annually, surpassing the previous target of 160,000 set by Coalition leader Peter Dutton 1. The plan represents what has been described as Australia's largest immigration reduction in history, with Taylor proposing to cut temporary visa holders by approximately 650,000 over four years and halve humanitarian visa places from Labor's 20,000 annually to 10,000 1.
Under Taylor's proposal, net overseas migration would be capped at 100,000 in the first and second years, rise to 130,000 in the third year, and reach 160,000 in the fourth year 1. The policy has drawn sharp criticism from business leaders and asylum seeker advocates. Andrew McKellar, chief executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce, warned that the policy's targets are "arbitrary and will damage the economy" 1. Jana Favero from the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre stated that Taylor was "out of touch with everyday Australians" 1. Meanwhile, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson suggested that major political parties needed to be "dragged" into making such cuts, casting doubt on their credibility 1.
