The Coalition's long-awaited migration plan has been revealed, completing the set of competing policies being offered by the government, the opposition and One Nation, who have risen in the polls in particular due to the party's promise to drive immigration to its lowest levels in Australia's history.

Migration rates to Australia since 2019 have been much higher than many comparable countries, with more than double the growth in population from migration compared to the United Kingdom, and three times Germany.
