PM Scott Morrison announced yesterday to great fanfare that his government is preparing to cut Australia’s immigration annual intake of permanent migrants to 160,000… a drop of 30,000 from the current targets.

Mr Morrison claims his government “didn’t just come up with the idea to cut immigration this week — it’s been planning for a while now to announce cuts to immigration as part of the upcoming federal budget”. 

Michael is joined by Entrepreneur/Businessman Dick Smith, who has been a long-time advocate for reduced immigration, to discuss whether this is a bold announcement or just more smoke & mirrors.
