The Coalition is preparing to announce a new migration policy that includes plans to deport 65,000 people who have overstayed temporary visas, with 26,000 having remained in Australia for more than a decade. The policy also proposes social media screening for visa applicants and enforcing an Australian values statement in the Migration Act. The announcement has sparked debate about whether this focus on immigration is the right priority ahead of the election, with concerns raised about potential political motivations and comparisons to hardline approaches seen in other countries.
