Bragg’s Bold Migration Target | Sydney News

Shadow housing minister Andrew Bragg is pushing for a bold new migration target of 180,000 net overseas migrants annually — the lowest since the mid-2000s — arguing it’s essential to tackle Australia’s housing crisis. He believes modest tweaks to student, working holiday, and unskilled worker visas could hit this goal. While the Albanese government projects gradual declines, Bragg wants a public debate on migration’s housing impact. His Liberal colleagues remain divided, with Opposition leader Angus Taylor hinting at a target “well below 200,000” but avoiding specifics until election time. Bragg also reflected on past policy failures, calling for a smarter, fiscally responsible liberalism — one that doesn’t rely on spending or old ideas. The tug-of-war over migration numbers continues, as Bragg seeks clarity and accountability in a complex national conversation.
