Andrew Bragg Defends Proposed Migration Limits Amid Lack of Support from Colleagues

12 Ağustos 2026The Guardian

Liberal senator Andrew Bragg has reaffirmed his proposal to reduce net migration to 180,000 per year, a figure not seen since the mid-2000s. Despite his stance, several Coalition colleagues, including Angus Taylor, have not publicly supported this target.
Bragg argues that addressing the housing shortfall requires setting a lower migration target over the next four years.
The proposal comes amid ongoing debates in Australia about immigration levels and their impact on housing and infrastructure. The Morrison government's previous policies have faced criticism, and Bragg's comments indicate a shift towards a more conservative stance on immigration within the party.
Bragg's insistence on lowering migration numbers reflects a growing concern within the party about housing shortages and population pressures. However, the lack of support from his colleagues suggests a divide within the Liberal Party regarding immigration policy.
