Coalition restricts welfare access for migrants including disability support payments

Angus Taylor's Coalition has proposed restricting welfare access, including disability support and carer payments, to Australian citizens only. The policy would affect roughly 17 payments and services, excluding migrants regardless of their work history or tax contributions. Critics argue the change hardens conditionality around belonging and may undermine social integration for humanitarian migrants still building stability in Australia.
