The Australian government intends to lower net overseas migration to 225,000 by 2028, a significant decrease from the current level of approximately 300,000. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke is expected to announce measures that include prohibiting international students from being accompanied by their partners and dependent children. This policy shift follows growing public concern regarding the impact of migration on housing availability and infrastructure. Recent data indicates that international students represent over half of the total net migration, which has been declining since reaching a peak in 2023. The government's decision also follows pressure from the One Nation party, which has advocated for stricter limits on temporary migrant numbers to alleviate strain on local resources. These adjustments reflect a broader effort to manage population growth following the reopening of national borders after the pandemic.
