Australian politicians talk tough on cutting migration

Original: Talking tough on something unlikely to happen, even if they do get in. Then the blame game would begin! # AusPol # Migra

In Australia, political figures are being accused of talking tough on slashing migration even though a genuine reversal of intake numbers is considered unlikely, even if they win office. Critics argue that Australia has never deliberately driven migration into reverse, and that promises to slam the brakes would prove unworkable, setting the stage for a blame game between the major parties once the policy meets reality.

Why now: Immigration cuts are a live issue in Australian politics ahead of elections, with sceptics mocking tough rhetoric as impractical
