Border blitz to come with coalition’s migration cuts

Key points

• The coalition plans to cut net overseas migration from nearly 300,000 to 100,000 in its first year if elected. Opposition leader Angus Taylor said the reduction would be the largest in Australia's history, though still higher than One Nation's target.
• The coalition also aims to deport tens of thousands of unlawful non-citizens and require most visa applications to be made offshore.
• Temporary visa holders would be reduced by 650,000 over four years, and student visas would decrease from 528,000 to 456,000.
