“#PeterDutton has again refused to say exactly how the #Coalition would make its promised cuts to #migration, declining to say which #SkilledWorker groups would be reduced or whether his target is even achievable given previous carveouts for working holidaymakers and families.

The opposition leader did say cuts to #foreign worker numbers could be dealt with in part by allowing #pensioners to work more hours without reducing their #pensions.”

Retire, then work ‘em till they drop.
