Australia raises migration forecast to 295,000 amid housing pressure

The Coalition prepares to announce a migration reduction plan Thursday as One Nation and other opposition parties pressure the government over housing and infrastructure concerns. Net migration peaked above 500,000 after pandemic border reopenings but is declining.
