## Resource

Australia’s immigration overhaul is here—tightening visas, slashing family allowances for students, and slashing working holiday stays to just 45K for a second year and 5K for a third. The government’s pushing a lottery system to prioritize skilled workers in construction, farming, and teaching, while cracking down on visa “rorting” and boosting penalties for dodgy agents. It’s all about aligning migration with national needs—not just numbers—and keeping the system clean, fair, and focused on real contributions.
