Immigration Minister David Coleman says net overseas migration will experience an ‘impact’ from the Coalition’s decision to cut the annual permanent migration intake by 30,000 per year, down to 160,000, but stopped short of confirming temporary numbers won’t increase.
The net overseas migration intake in 2018 was nearly 240,000 people, including temporary numbers such as students. Mr Coleman has told Sky News that Australia would be ‘foolish’ to seek to curtail the education export industry, which represents the largest portion of temporary newcomers. Under the changes, 23,000 people seeking permanent residency will also be forced to settle outside of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Perth, a jump from about 8,500 in 2018, Mr Coleman says.

GCobber99 It is only 2000 less people than last year. No cap on temporary workers though. . And there are 1.6 million of them at present - no cap.
The annual refugee quota should be cut too.
So no migration cut, Morrison is just putting ppl on temporary visas
Smoke and mirrors. Not impressed.
