Overview
- The Coalition has unveiled a plan to reduce Australia’s annual migrant intake to 100,000, putting immigration limits at the centre of its policy agenda.
- Party officials presented the change as a way to tighten migration settings and manage population growth, which would likely lower the number of permanent and temporary visas granted.
- Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters named a 23-man squad for the Rugby League World Cup, finalising player selections ahead of the tournament.
- The Sydney Roosters are holding extended public celebrations in Sydney’s eastern suburbs after their NRL premiership win, drawing large crowds and local media attention.
- Migration caps are a recurring political tool in Australia and this proposal could reshape employer planning, skilled labour supply, and the national debate over population and public services.
