Bragg's Bold Immigration Shift Sparks Party Divide | Adelaide News
Description
Senator Andrew Bragg stunned the political scene with a bold speech calling for slashing net migration to 180,000 — a sharp cut from projected 225,000 — while also taking aim at his own party’s policy stagnation and housing failures. Though he declined to confirm whether party leader Angus Taylor approved the remarks, Bragg hinted at broad internal consultation. His critique of the Liberals’ lack of alternative policies over two decades sparked backlash: Senator James Paterson called it personal opinion, Housing Minister Clare O’Neil branded it an “ideological fever dream,” and the party remains divided on immigration, signaling Bragg’s plan isn’t yet official coalition policy.
