📰 What Happened
Barnaby Joyce called MP Dave Farley's claim that One Nation's migration target is 'not too different' from Labor's a rookie mistake. Farley cited 130,000 visas plus 100,000 extra migrant workers, while Pauline Hanson insisted the target was 130,000.
🔍 The Backstory
Farley won the New South Wales seat of Farrer for One Nation in May. Asked on Insiders, he described additional workers including skilled migrants, backpackers and Pacific labourers as separate from the immigration target.
🎯 Why It Matters
The confusion came as the Coalition questions One Nation's credibility on policy detail, and it undermines the country-specific clarity Hanson wants on the party's central immigration issue ahead of the next election.
