Australian nationalist party proposes cutting 750,000 temporary visas

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 07:08

The Australian nationalist party One Nation proposed today to reduce by more than 750,000 the number of temporary visa holders over the next three years, with sharp cuts for international students and family members of skilled workers.

The One Nation proposal aims to significantly decrease temporary immigration in Australia, mainly affecting visa categories that the party considers excessively permissive.

The party argues that reducing temporary visas would benefit Australian workers and alleviate pressure on the country's infrastructure and public services.

The measure comes in a context of debate on migration policy in Australia, where temporary immigration has been a controversial political topic in recent years.

Why this matters

This proposal would directly affect thousands of immigrants and students planning to live or work in Australia, significantly altering the country's migration policies and potentially impacting Australian universities that depend on international students.
