Tony Barry and Sean Kelly, sitting in for Barrie Cassidy, examine the politics of immigration and asylum after contradictory policy statements this week from Labor and One Nation. They discuss how much Labor is being led by One Nation and whether the government is doing enough to make the case for migration. They also talk about the concessions made by the Albanese government to the states on GST and renewable energy for datacentres, as well as the bumpy economic road ahead for Labor, with new inflation numbers suggesting possible interest rates hikes in the future Albanese vows refugee intake won't be slashed, shutting down plans of Coalition-level cut Analysis: One Nation's immigration policy is clear as mud – but that ambiguity could be a secret weapon for Pauline Hanson

Law enforcement stakeholders and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) discuss the crucial role of joint-agency cooperation and legislative alignment to successfully implement the island's new migration policy.

In the 2026-27 Budget, the federal government announced changes to the Australia's permanent migration system aimed at prioritising "better-educated", "highly-skilled" and younger migrants. Of the total 185,000 permanent migration places, 70 per cent have been allocated to skilled migrants. While those awaiting parent and partner visas fear even longer wait times, experts believe the new approach could benefit onshore migrant workers. - ਫੈਡਰਲ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਕਾਮਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਘਾਟ ਪੂਰੀ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਆਪਣੀ ਸਥਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸ ਪ੍ਰਣਾਲੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਦਲਾਅ ਕਰ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਤਹਿਤ ਬਿਹਤਰ ਸਿੱਖਿਅਤ, ਉੱਚ-ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਅਤੇ ਨੌਜਵਾਨ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਰਜੀਹ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ। ਬਜਟ 2026-27 ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਸਥਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ 185,000 ਸਥਾਨਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਸੀਮਤ ਰਹੇਗਾ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ 70 ਫੀਸਦ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਸਥਾਨ ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਰਾਖਵੇਂ ਹੋਣਗੇ। ਮਾਹਿਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿ ਰਹੇ ਕਾਮਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਫਾਇਦਾ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਫੈਮਿਲੀ ਵੀਜ਼ਾ, ਖਾਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਪੇਰੈਂਟ ਅਤੇ ਪਾਰਟਨਰ ਨਕਾਰਾਤਮਕ ਅਸਰ ਪੈ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਸੁਣੋ ਪੂਰੀ ਰਿਪੋਰਟ ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਵਿੱਚ...

The plan includes enhanced screening for all visa applicants, including social media checks, a legally binding ‘values’ statement and tougher enforcement measures aimed at refusing or removing people deemed not to meet the threshold. It also signals a broader tightening across the system, from faster visa refusals to stronger action on overstayers and reduced avenues for appeal. In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Abul Rizvi, a former senior immigration official and one of the country’s most experienced analysts of migration policy to unpack what this policy could look like in practice.

Dr Anne Aly, Federal Minister for Multicultural Affairs, has questioned the opposition's proposed migration policy, asking whether it could exclude essential workers such as doctors, nurses and teachers. “You cannot predetermine the contribution a person is going to make to this country simply based on their ethnicity, skin colour and which country they come from,” she said, responding to the Liberal Party's policy announced by Angus Taylor. - "ਤੁਸੀਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਹੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੇ ਮੂਲ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦੇ ਅਧਾਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਇਹ ਨਿਰਧਾਰਿਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਕਿ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਆਉਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਿੰਨਾ ਯੋਗਦਾਨ ਪਾਵੇਗਾ। ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਅਧਿਆਪਕਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਪਾਬੰਦੀ ਲਗਾਓਗੇ? ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਡਾਕਟਰਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਪਾਬੰਦੀ ਲਗਾਓਗੇ?", ਬਹੁ-ਸਭਿਆਚਾਰਕ ਮਾਮਲਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਘੀ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਐਨ ਐਲੀ ਨੇ ਵਿਰੋਧੀ ਧਿਰ ਦੇ ਨੇਤਾ ਐਂਗਸ ਟੇਲਰ ਦੀ ਪਰਵਾਸੀ ਨੀਤੀ ਦਾ ਤਿੱਖਾ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ। ਐਸ ਬੀ ਐਸ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨਾਲ ਇੰਟਰਵਿਊ ਵਿੱਚ, ਮੰਤਰੀ ਨੇ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਤੇਲ ਸੰਕਟ ਵਿਚਾਲੇ ਛੋਟੇ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਰਾਹਤ ਪੈਕੇਜ, ਨਸਲਵਾਦ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਕਈ ਮੁੱਦਿਆਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਵੀ ਗੱਲ ਕੀਤੀ। ਪੂਰਾ ਇੰਟਰਵਿਊ ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਸੁਣੋ...

This month on African Geopardy, we discussed a pressing and often uncomfortable question: who really defines the agenda of global migration policy?In this episode, “From Partners to Pawns? How Global Migration Policy Undermines African Political Agency,” I'm joined by Dr Margaret Monyani, Executive Director of the OLAM Africa Research Institute. Together, we examine Africa's place within an increasingly politicised migration landscape shaped by security concerns, economic interests, and climate pressures.Our conversation interrogates the evolving Africa–EU relationship, asking whether African states are genuinely participating as agenda setters or being positioned as gatekeepers along migration routes—tasked with interception rather than influence. We explore how and when African actors are brought into policy discussions, and how that timing often determines whether they shape outcomes or simply implement them.We also reflect on where the continent is asserting agency, where progress is being made, and where alternative approaches are urgently needed. At its core, this episode challenges the subtle but significant imbalances embedded in migration governance—and what it will take to move from participation to power.Many thanks to Dr Monyani for such a thoughtful and engaging discussion.

The European Union will soon have a new regulation that should make it easier for EU countries to deport irregular migrants.

Queensland government officers have euthanased dingoes involved in the death of a Canadian backpacker on K'gari.

Australia's 2026 migration plan introduces major changes, with the permanent migration intake set at 185,000 visas and international student visa numbers increasing to 295,000. The government is also implementing stricter student visa screening for applicants from India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh, citing a rise in fraudulent visa applications. In conversation with registered migration agent Vaibhav Patel, we break down changes made to Australia's immigration policy in 2025 and discuss what migrants and international students can expect in 2026.

The August report by MSF, or Doctors Without Borders, finds the changes have left many immigrants trapped in a cycle of physical, emotional, and institutional violence.

Ashraf Essop, an immigration law specialist, and Professor Loren Landau, an expert in migration and development from Oxford and Wits, unpack the legal, social, and moral implications of growing hostility towards asylum seekers in South Africa. This follows a disturbing incident in which Operation Dudula members attempted to shut down a local clinic, demanding that foreign nationals be denied access to healthcare. Despite the public outrage, such actions persist—often ignoring the Refugees Act and South Africa’s international legal obligations, which guarantee asylum seekers access to essential services. With the asylum system already overwhelmed and public sentiment increasingly volatile, the guests explore what South Africans need to understand about the rights of refugees—and what’s at stake if we continue down this path of exclusion and vigilantism. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this conversation, Henning Meyer and Colin Crouch explore the evolution of social democracy, the impact of globalization, and the challenges posed by right-wing populism. They discuss the changing landscape of political identity, the need for a new vision in social democracy, and the importance of cooperation in addressing societal issues. The conversation highlights the necessity of building social infrastructure and addressing economic inequality while navigating the complexities of migration policies and the future of leftist politics in Europe.

Keir Starmer's leadership is collapsing. #Starmer #MigrantHotels #JonGaunt #UKPolitics #EnochPowell Keir Starmer's leadership is collapsing. After three major U-turns in just days — on winter fuel payments, the Muslim grooming gangs public inquiry, and now a welfare cuts retreat — the question is: What does Starmer actually believe in? And now, he's disowning his own immigration speech where he referred to Britain as an “Island of Strangers” — claiming he didn't realise it echoed Enoch Powell. The irony? That speech struck a chord with many ordinary Brits.  Meanwhile, 50,000 illegal migrants are still living in hotels, funded by taxpayers. The public isn't asking for “1 in 1 out.” We're demanding:

EU governments are outdoing each other in introducing tough anti-immigration measures, embracing policies that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Poland is pushing to suspend the right to asylum, Germany has reinstated border controls, and Italy has opened two centres to process asylum seekers outside its borders. Now, EU leaders are considering ramping up deportations, aiming to send desperate people back to their countries of origin. All these measures point in the same direction: a Fortress Europe. Meanwhile, parties pushing for stricter immigration controls are gaining power in several EU countries and making significant strides in elections. And many citizens in host countries, feeling neglected by their governments and suffering from stagnant economic conditions, are increasingly hostile to migrants, seeing them as a burden on public resources and a threat to job security. What's really driving this new clampdown on migration? What does it mean for the future of Europe's approach to migration and human rights? And in this current political climate, what should our response be?

Send us a Text Message.Today we're taking a step back from the personal stories we've been hearing to get some perspective on migration and Nepal. Specifically, we're talking about women who leave the country to work, including why a ban on them migrating as domestic workers is not a good idea. We'll also hear – and this is the idea that jolted my brain during the interview – why we need to share positive news about women's migration. My guest today, in the Himal Media studio in Patan Dhoka, is Sadikshya Bhattarai, Research Coordinator at the Centre for the Study of Labour and Mobility, aka CESLAM, at Social Science Baha here in Kathmandu. During our chat, Sadikshya does a great job of sketching the history of women migrating for work until today. She then details how the ban on women working as domestics in Gulf countries has evolved, and why it should end. But this isn't a single-focus discussion—Sadikshya also notes the many initiatives that the three levels of government and their partners have taken to try and improve the system, but concludes that they're just not working as intended.

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in State of Disaster: The Failure of U. S. Migration Policy in an Age of Climate Change (UNC Press, 2022), there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work. Garcia focuses on Central America and the Caribbean, where natural disasters have repeatedly worsened poverty, inequality, and domestic and international political tensions. She explains that the creation of better U.S. policy for those escaping disasters is severely limited by the 1980 Refugee Act, which continues to be applied almost exclusively for reasons of persecution directly related to politics, race, religion, and identity. Garcia contends that the United States must transform its outdated migration policies to address today's realities. Climate change and natural disasters are here to stay, and much of the human devastation left in their wake is essentially a policy choice. Learn more about your ad choices.
