One Nation’s immigration policy is not clear, even to its MPs

One Nation has repeatedly tripped up explaining how it would cut migration while keeping enough skilled and essential workers. Its policy shifted from official zero net migration to a 130,000-visa-a-year cap, unclear whether that means permanent or net overseas migration.

One Nation's founding policy position backed zero net migration alongside highly skilled migrants from 'culturally cohesive' countries. In early 2025 the party updated its policy online to a cap of 130,000 visas a year.

Immigration is One Nation's signature issue, so a muddled policy risks undermining its credibility and handing electoral ammunition to rivals as the party's popularity climbs.
