Coalition MPs admit immigration pledge not fully costed
Original: Coalition MPs concede immigration pledge not fully costed by independent watchdog https://www.theguardian.com/australia-
Coalition MPs in Australia have conceded that their immigration pledge was not fully costed by the independent parliamentary budget watchdog. The admission, involving shadow treasurer Angus Taylor, raises questions about the fiscal credibility of the opposition's signature immigration policy ahead of the election campaign, with opponents likely to seize on the gap in the policy's financial scrutiny.
Why now: The opposition's admission that a major immigration pledge bypassed independent costing undermines its fiscal credibility at a politically sensitive time.
