Australia's far-right political party, the One National Party, proposed a plan to reduce the number of temporary immigrants by about 750,000 within three years, with the aim of using people's dissatisfaction with the pressure on the cost of living and the shortage of housing to gain support. According to a statement, the program will target visas issued to international students, their families, and skilled immigrants. One National Party leader Pauline Hanson said on Monday that the plan would end the practice of relying on “repeated renewal of temporary visas” to extend stay in Australia, while deporting illegal immigrants. According to the “Australian Financial Review”, a few days after the announcement, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanis is expected to announce the revised immigration policy of the left-wing government. Rapid population growth has exacerbated housing pressure and raised social concerns, and this background has boosted the approval rating of Hanson's political party in the polls. In a statement, Hanson said, “If the per capita income of Australians falls, they cannot afford housing, it is difficult to obtain hospital beds, and their lives cannot be improved, then a larger economy in the paper sense is worthless. If every Australian's share of the economic cake continues to shrink, there is no point in growing a bigger cake.”
