Government expects 295,000 migrants as Coalition, One Nation demand cuts

Australia's government expects 35,000 additional migrants to remain this financial year, raising net overseas migration to 295,000 from 260,000 forecasted. Opposition Leader Angus Taylor will announce the Coalition's migration reduction plan Thursday, with figures below 200,000 suggested. One Nation, which won its first federal lower house seat, demands 130,000 annually and accuses Taylor of copying rhetoric without commitment.
