Hanson Steps in to Explain One Nation Migration Targets
Pauline Hanson says One Nation will cut net overseas migration to 130,000, after a party MP’s remarks suggested a higher practical total.
- Farrer MP David Farley told ABC Insiders on Sunday his party separates a "true NOM" from other categories, claiming the policy results in 230,000 arrivals, which he said is not "too different" to current forecasts.
- One Nation leader Pauline Hanson intervened shortly after, refuting Farley's comments on social media and reaffirming the party's official policy to "cut net overseas migration to 130,000," less than half of Labor's current level.
- Hanson explained the target excludes short-term seasonal agricultural workers, noting "they come for limited periods" and reside on farms, a distinction Farley had previously argued should be separated from net overseas migration figures.
- Cabinet minister Chris Bowen argued Farley's comments show One Nation "backs government migration policy," while Opposition immigration spokesman Jonno Duniam demanded clarity on the party's actual migration numbers.
- Duniam warned that these migration distinctions have "real consequences for housing, infrastructure, essential services, wages, jobs and the economy," criticizing One Nation for having "extraordinary difficulty answering the most basic question" about its policy.
