00:02On the insider's hot seat talking freely about migration.
00:07We're focusing on the NOM in its true form.
00:09A form of net overseas migration David Farley says doesn't include tens of thousands of in-demand workers like aged
00:17care nurses, engineers and Pacific workers on the Palm Scheme.
00:22You're saying it needs to be 130,000 NOM plus about 100,000 more?
00:26Yeah, at a minimum.
00:27Admitting that when you add that up, it gets pretty close to Labor's policy.
00:32The raw number is not too different.
00:34Currently, net overseas migration is about 300,000 people a year.
00:38But according to the budget papers, the government expects that to drop to 225,000 by 2028.
00:45I'm not sure what campaign One Nation is going to run on migration if they're effectively backing in what the
00:51Albanese government is doing.
00:52By lunchtime, Pauline Hanson had taken to social media insisting One Nation's policy is to cut net overseas migration to
01:01130,000 and their target is less than half Labor's current level.
01:07It doesn't matter on the number. All they care about is where they're coming from. That is racist.
01:12This is not a number that you can be all over the shop on. You have to get this right.
01:18Angus Taylor says his target will be well below 200,000.
01:23David Farley is conscious the agricultural businesses in his community rely on migrants, whereas Pauline Hanson has previously said she
01:32doesn't care if her proposed cut hurts businesses because ensuring there's enough housing is her top priority.
01:39As for Labor, it's yet to finalise its planned overhaul of the immigration system and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke's
01:46recently cancelled National Press Club address is yet to be rescheduled.
