🚨 ONE NATION UNVEILS PLAN TO CUT 750,000 TEMPORARY MIGRANTS

Pauline Hanson has unveiled a three-year immigration “reset” that would cut more than 750,000 temporary migrants and unlawful non-citizens, mainly targeting international students, graduate visas, skilled-worker dependants and bridging visas.

Under the plan, Australia would temporarily move to net-negative migration, before net overseas migration is capped at 130,000 a year. People living in Australia unlawfully would be given three months to leave voluntarily or face enforcement and a potential lifetime re-entry ban.

🚨 LABOR APPOINTS FORMER LIBERAL LEADER SUSSAN LEY TO SNOWY HYDRO BOARD

Energy Minister Chris Bowen and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher have appointed former Liberal opposition leader Sussan Ley to the board of the government-owned Snowy Hydro.

Ley resigned from Parliament in February after losing the Liberal leadership. Just seven months later, she has now been handed a board role by the Albanese government.

For everyone who keeps talking about a “uniparty”, this one probably won’t help.
