In this podcast by SBS Hindi, members of the Indian-origin community in Australia react to the Coalition’s pledge to cut migration, which some believe contributed to its election loss. A polling analyst also highlights that many people in the community shared concerns over the lack of clarity in the proposed migration cut. Voters suggest that if there had been more detail or a clear alternative, the community’s response — and possibly the election result — could have been different.
