Liberal Party immigration changes

The Liberal Party of Australia is divided over its future direction as new leader Angus Taylor seeks to unify the party and shift it further to the right. The party is considering a controversial immigration policy inspired by a UK Labour policy, which could lead to blacklisting countries that refuse to take back their rejected citizens. The proposed policy is part of a broader realignment taking place in right-wing politics in Australia, but it is controversial within the already divided Liberal Party. The party is divided between those who want to overhaul its direction and those who believe doing so would mean political death. The rise of One Nation has motivated members of the Liberal and National parties to take a harder line on immigration and the economy, in an effort to avoid losing votes to the right-wing party.
