Australia’s Albanese Rejects Immigration Cuts as Far-Right Grows

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dismissed the idea of immigration cuts or tighter border checks, even as electoral polls show a surge in support for the country’s hard-right One Nation Party.

“We have tight checks,” Labor leader Albanese said in an interview with Sky News aired on Sunday, when asked if he planned to harden restrictions or take fewer immigrants from certain nations. “We have checks on migration in this country and we have checks on visas.”
