Nationals leader accuses Labor of ‘lying’ on migration policy

Nationals Leader Matt Canavan responds to Housing Minister Clare O’Neil bashing the Coalition over its proposed migration and welfare cuts.

“I’m not surprised given the Labor Party spent the week lying about its own policies, not surprising they’re lying about the Coalition’s as well,” Mr Canavan told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“We’ve been very clear that our policy would set a new rule for new migrants.

“It wouldn’t change the benefits for any people living here right now … we’re not going to kick you off.”
