BUDGET 2026: Angus Taylor asked about migration, housing, and inflation
Opposition leader Angus Taylor speaks with SBS Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson after his 2026-27 budget reply last night.
In his first budget reply as leader, Taylor said the Opposition would claw back billions of dollars by cutting welfare — including the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Jobseeker, Youth Allowance and the Family Tax Benefit — to non-citizens.
More than 3 million permanent migrants made Australia their home from 2001 to 2021, with more than half (59 per cent) becoming citizens, 2021 Census data shows.
