Cap migration at 80,000 GROSS annually (prioritising skilled workers and family reunions), with a five-year freeze on non-essential visas. This will allow AUSTRALIANS to return home and enable exception-based critical skills entry, weeding out non-essential migration.

This policy will result in net-negative Net Overseas Migration and a reduction of 2.6 million non-citizens over six years to prevent economic collapse. Approximately 70,000 Australians return each year; the 80,000 gross cap allows for Australians to return and a very small buffer for emergency skilled placements (removing generalised categories).

1. This reduces pressure on housing, wages, and infrastructure, saving billions while preserving Australia’s cultural identity and significantly reducing demand-side pressure on house prices and rents.
   
   
2. Cancellation and remigration of visa abuse candidates
   1. Return 126,000 student overstays (declined AAT cases).
   2. Revocation of 400,000 bridging visas – if your visa expires, you will be required to immediately exit the country and obtain a new visa approval prior to re-entry.
   3. Shift to online learning for foreign students in Australian universities and educational programs, revoking more than 1.4 million visas over the next five years. University-based visa pathways to be cancelled from 2026, returning physical placement priority to Australian youth.
   4. Immediate revocation of all student visas where the student has ceased studying for more than 90 days.
   5. Cancellation of all welfare, pension, and medical eligibility for non-citizen persons.
   6. Full stop on any immigration from countries with dissimilar values, customs, or democratic systems.
   7. UAE-style no-citizenship model: permanent residency and temporary visas only, strictly enforced, with removal of any non-citizen who offends Australian criminal laws.
      
      
3. Economic buffering (GDP protection) through immediate energy cost reductions, payroll tax halving, and land tax relief to hyper-stimulate industry and manufacturing for Australian-owned operations. Government income should be derived through delivering services, not excessive taxation.
