Former prime minister Tony Abbott is calling for Australia to drastically reduce immigration levels until migrants are better integrated into society and to prevent further pressure on wages and housing prices.

Mr Abbott wants to see a cut in immigration numbers from 190,000 to 110,000 people a year, urging Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to take the issue to the electorate at the next election.

News Corp Australia  is reporting Mr Abbott is expected to make a speech at the Sydney Institute this evening (20/02), to tell his audience cutting the number of migrants will help wages growth and make house prices more affordable.
