Episode Synopsis

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has vowed the Coalition will not cut Australia's annual intake of parent visas after sustained pressure to reveal where its planned cuts to permanent migration would come from. The backlog of parent visas has ballooned under this term of government. Despite increasing the cap, Labor has had little appetite to reform the system.
