Labor is losing support on migration issues as a delayed visa shake-up approaches, according to reporting in multiple outlets.
The articles cite polling showing that more than a third of voters say Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is best placed to manage immigration and refugees. They also describe Labor’s position as weakening in the lead-up to the government’s planned adjustments to visa processes, which have been pushed back.
Across the coverage, the main emphasis is on voters’ issue-based preferences and the timing of the immigration policy changes, rather than on new details of the visa measures themselves. While outlets differ in where they place the focus—some stress the broader migration vote picture and others the operational delay in implementing the visa overhaul—the overall theme is consistent: public opinion on who can handle immigration is shifting ahead of the updated visa framework.
