Joyce Defends One Nation MP After Migration Policy Mix-Up
'The raw number is not too different, but the reality is, where do we need them?' said David Farley.
One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has defended his colleague David Farley regarding the party’s proposed migration rate cuts. Farley suggested that One Nation’s policy of reducing net overseas migration to 130,000, plus an additional 100,000 for skilled and commercial visas, would result in a total intake not significantly different from the federal government’s current numbers. Farley emphasized that the crucial factor is not the raw number but the strategic placement of migrants.
- Barnaby Joyce supports his colleague David Farley’s statements on One Nation’s migration policy.
- Farley stated that the party’s proposed cut to net overseas migration (NOM) to 130,000, combined with skilled or PALM visas (100,000), would total around 230,000 migrants annually.
- Farley conceded this figure is ‘not too different’ from Labor’s current migration intake.
- Farley highlighted the importance of considering where migrants are needed, rather than just the raw numbers.
