Labor's migration overhaul is a textbook duopoly panic. One Nation and the Coalition push for cuts, so Labor scrambles to slash net migration from 300k to 225k. They killed the Graduate Diploma of Management, a dodgy course with 41k students, 18k of whom never studied. But the real story? Industry says they can't find local workers because the training system is broken. Hotels paid $74m into the Skilling Australians Fund, yet hospitality training is de-prioritised. Now backpackers, who make up 44% of the harvest workforce, are being squeezed. One Nation feeds on the anger, but their solution is scapegoating. Fix the training, regulate the shonky providers, and stop treating migrants as a political football. #auspol #migration https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/pub-test-albanese-faces-dire-warnings-that-migration-plan-risks-shuttering-hotels-20260903-p60tzl.html
