Australia to cut refugee intake by a third, from 20,000 to 13,750 annually

Australia's Labor government will cut the annual refugee intake from 20,000 to 13,750 from the 2027–28 financial year, reverting to Coalition-era levels. The reduction comes amid political pressure from the far-right One Nation party to lower migration. The Greens condemned the move, saying it makes Australia "meaner and weaker".
