Nationals rule out backpackers from migration cuts

Radio National Breakfast — Separate stories podcast - Een podcast door ABC listen

The Nationals have ruled out another visa class from the Coalition's commitment to cut overall migration numbers if it wins government. After ruling out cuts to visas for families, tradies, chefs and nurses, questions have been raised about how the Coalition could achieve its ambitious migration target without including the rising number of working holiday visas.   But speaking on ABC Insiders, Nationals party frontbencher, Bridget McKenzie, assured backpackers will also be exempt. Guest: David Jochinke, President, the National Farmers' Federation Producer: Kelly-Anne Taylor
