Australia's opposition Coalition plans to cut net migration to about a third of current levels.

Australia's opposition Coalition leader Angus Taylor is expected to present a revamped migration plan to the Coalition partyroom on Tuesday. The policy would cut net overseas migration to 100,000 annually for two years, reducing the intake to roughly a third of current levels.

The Coalition describes this as Australia's biggest immigration cut in history. One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has claimed the Coalition is adopting her party's policy. The announcement comes as the Coalition seeks to counter the anti-immigration One Nation party's growing support.
