Summary
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has promised in his Budget reply that - if elected - the coalition would drastically cut migration levels and would look to tie migration numbers to the number of homes built. The announcement comes as the peak body for farming warns that any policy settings that undermine the seasonal workforce mix, would put Australia's food chain at risk. The National Farmers Federation is today appearing before the Senate Inquiry into the value of skilled migration to Australia. Guest: Hamish McIntyre, National Farmers Federation President Producer: Grace Stranger
