澳大利亚反对党领导人Andrew Bragg将在国会新闻俱乐部发表演讲,提出将年度净海外移民限制在18万人的政策主张[1]。该政策旨在缓解住房短缺问题[1]。Bragg表示"这种规模的移民削减是可控的,与我们最近历史上管理的削减相符"[1]。然而,反对党财政发言人Tim Wilson在演讲前数小时拒绝确认这一具体数字,称"不应该将180,000这个数字作为定数。让我们等等,首先看看Bragg议员在演讲中说的内容"[1]。
反对党还计划用80页的"基础澳大利亚标准"取代现有的2000多页《国家建筑规范》,以降低建房成本[1]。财政部预测净海外移民将从301,000降至225,000(本十年末)[1]。劳工党宣布在2026年中期生产率圆桌会议后冻结《国家建筑规范》[1]。
Australia's opposition party plans to announce a policy capping annual net overseas migration at 180,000 people, according to remarks set to be delivered at the National Press Club [1]. The proposal aims to address housing shortage pressures facing the country [1].
Beyond migration reform, the opposition intends to replace the current 2,000-plus-page National Building Code with an 80-page "Basic Australian Standard" designed to reduce construction costs [1]. However, opposition finance spokesperson Tim Wilson refused to confirm the migration figure ahead of the speech, stating that "180,000 should not be locked in as a number" and suggesting the party await the full remarks [1]. Opposition frontbencher Andrew Bragg characterized the proposed reduction as manageable, noting it would align with migration cuts "we've managed in our recent history" [1].
The Treasury has forecast net overseas migration will decline from 301,000 to 225,000 by the end of the current decade [1]. The Labor government has announced it will freeze the National Building Code following a productivity roundtable in mid-2026 [1].
