Australian farmers are joining a regional push for the Turnbull Government to avoid making citizenship harder for migrants to obtain.


The farmers say they worry about the effect on vital foreign workers.

It comes as advocates call for an increase to the migrant intake to help revitalise regional Australia.

The Regional Australia Institute is calling on the Federal Government to increase its migrant intake by an extra 3,000 people a year to make up for the annual population loss in regional Australia.
