Australia's political debate intensified on Tuesday over immigration limits and technological sovereignty as peak higher education bodies issued dire warnings regarding far-right migration proposals and senior ministers pushed back against reported corporate pressure from artificial intelligence giants.
At the center of the domestic dispute is a sweeping immigration policy unveiled by Senator Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party, which proposes capping overall net migration to 130,000 per year.
Under the proposal, international student visas would be dramatically slashed to 100,000 annually, alongside a restriction of just 20,000 post-graduate visas, marking a combined cut of more than 200,000 visas from current levels.
