澳大利亚One Nation党正式确认其移民限制计划,拟将年度净海外移民上限设定为130,000人[1]。这一立场凸显了该国各政党在移民政策上的显著分歧。现任工党政府已将目标设定为225,000人(2027-2028财年)[1],而反对党自由党内部则为这一议题的方向产生了内部分裂。
自由党参议员Andrew Bragg日前在国家新闻俱乐部发表演讲,提议将联盟党的移民政策上限降至约180,000人[1][2]。这一举动引起党内高层的严厉反驳。反对党领袖Angus Taylor表示,Bragg的建议仅代表其个人观点,并未通过正式党内流程[1][2]。Taylor明确指出:"Andrew表达了他的个人观点。我向他明确表示,他的工作是表达...联盟党和他所在高级团队的观点"[2]。副党领导人Hastie补充道,这些观点未经正式政策流程,不代表影子内阁的立场[2]。
Bragg对此承认未按照党内流程行动,但为自己的举措辩护称需要提出想法"推动辩论"[2]。尽管党内对其立场分裂,但多数人士认为如果他回到正轨就不会有后续后果[2]。澳大利亚净海外移民数据显示,2023年已达556,000人,创历史新高[1],凸显移民控制成为三大政党竞争的焦点议题。
One Nation has clarified its migration restriction strategy by confirming an annual net overseas migration cap of 130,000 people.[1] This proposal comes amid diverging positions within Australia's opposition Coalition on the issue of immigration levels.
The Labor government has already set its own target of reducing net overseas migration to 225,000 people by the 2027-2028 financial year.[1] The announcement follows record net overseas migration of 556,000 people in 2023.[1] Within the opposition Liberal Party, shadow housing minister Andrew Bragg has proposed a Coalition immigration policy cap of 180,000 people.[1][2] However, this suggestion has triggered internal tensions, with opposition leader Angus Taylor stating that Bragg was expressing a personal viewpoint that had not been formally communicated to him beforehand.[1]
Bragg had delivered a speech at the National Press Club in which he proposed cutting net overseas migration from around 300,000 to approximately 180,000 people.[2] Taylor made clear that Bragg's role is to articulate the position of the Coalition and his senior team, not personal opinions.[2] Deputy opposition leader Andrew Hastie reinforced this stance, indicating that Bragg's proposals had not gone through formal policy processes and did not represent the shadow cabinet's official position.[2] While Bragg acknowledged that he had not followed proper party procedures, he defended his approach as necessary to "push the debate" forward.[2] Despite the controversy, multiple Coalition members have indicated that there would be no serious consequences if Bragg returns to established processes.[2]
