Opposition leader Angus Taylor used his budget reply speech last night to outline the Coalition immigration policies, confirming that includes removing welfare payments and access to the NDIS for permanent residents. He says says the move would save billions of dollars. But Assistant Minister for Citizenship, Customs and Multicultural Affairs, Julian Hill is describing the policy as a "dog whistle to One Nation". SBS Political Correspondent Rayane Tamer spoke to Julian Hill who rejected the Coalition's proposal that excessive migration was contributing to housing barriers.
