澳大利亚政府曾考虑将年度难民安置名额从2万个削减至13750个，但在工党全国大会及党内压力下撤回了该计划，决定维持2万个名额 1。总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯（Anthony Albanese）表示，此前的削减提议与One Nation党支持率上升有关 1。在全球近1.3亿人流离失所、超过全球人口1%的背景下，削减难民配额的举动被批评为残酷的民粹主义 1。
澳大利亚当前的年度难民安置名额为2万个 1。1980至1981年间，澳大利亚曾接收22545名难民，当时该国人口不足1500万，如今人口已增至约2800万 1。此前拟削减的6250个人道主义名额，属于澳大利亚30万净海外移民数字的一部分 1。在政策走向方面，工党全国大会承诺维持每年2万个人道主义安置名额，并期望未来能达到每年2.7万个 1。此外，澳大利亚今年结束了针对受迫害阿富汗人的专项安置计划 1。
The Australian government has maintained its annual refugee intake at 20,000 places after withdrawing a proposal to reduce the humanitarian quota to 13,750 1. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese acknowledged that the initial proposal to cut the intake was driven by political considerations regarding the rising support for the One Nation party 1. The decision to retain the 20,000 places was secured following commitments and pressure from the Labor Party's national conference, which also aspires to increase the annual humanitarian intake to 27,000 1.
The proposed reduction of 6,250 humanitarian places was part of the broader net overseas migration figure, which currently stands at 300,000 1. The article criticizes the contemplation of such cuts as cruel populism, especially when nearly 130 million people globally are displaced, accounting for more than 1% of the world's population 1. Historically, Australia accepted 22,545 refugees in 1980-81 when the national population was under 15 million, compared to the current population of approximately 28 million 1. Furthermore, the country concluded its special settlement program for persecuted Afghans earlier this year 1.
