Australian PM commits to lower net immigration
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that the country will reduce its net migration over the next two years to 225,000 people, believing this to be the optimal number. This decision comes amid the rising influence of far-right voices that link rising property prices and housing issues to immigration. Migration statistics show an increase in the number of arrivals in Australia in recent years, reaching 538,000 in 2023, 429,000 in 2024, and 306,000 last year, with a population of 28 million. This move is part of efforts to address a significant housing crisis, amid public dissatisfaction over the consequences of increasing migrant numbers.
