Liberals pour cold water on Bragg's migration comments

Coalition colleagues say Andrew Bragg's suggestion that net migration cuts could be achieved by targeting backpackers and graduated students is not an agreed opposition policy.
In a wideranging speech, the Liberal frontbencher also called compulsory superannuation "a loss of liberty" and that large tech companies should be taxed more.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has also been unclear about whether she has a target for net migration.
A Liberal frontbencher's suggestion that net migration under 180,000 is "achievable" with cuts to backpackers and international students is unauthorised and does not reflect an agreed position of Angus Taylor's shadow cabinet.
Coalition wants to bring migration down to lowest level since Global Financial Crisis
The Coalition wants to bring migration down to its lowest level since the Global Financial Crisis, and is preparing to argue that visas for students, graduates and backpackers must be cut so that housing construction can keep pace with inflows of new arrivals.
Opposition housing spokesman Senator Andrew Bragg will on Wednesday reveal the Coalition will seek to take net overseas migration levels under 180,000 people per year on average – a target that is 45,000 lower than Labor’s short-term forecasts, and 120,000 below last year’s intake.
The new detail on the heated question of net overseas migration, also known as NOM, will inject fresh energy into the debate over optimum migration levels and how to achieve them amid public concern that immigration has been too high since the pandemic.
