Coalition unveils tough immigration policy overhaul

Coalition unveils tough immigration policy overhaul

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has unveiled the Coalition's immigration plan, proposing compulsory English learning for permanent visa holders, refusing asylum claims from designated safe countries, and reinstating Temporary Protection Visas. The plan includes enshrining Australian values as a universal visa condition, extending wait times for non-citizen social security access, and creating an Enhanced Screening Centre with social media checks. Critics, including Minister Tony Burke and Independent MP Zali Steggall, have labelled the policy a divisive appeal to One Nation voters, while migration experts note the government already possesses most of the proposed powers.
