Scott Morrison campaigns on this hot-button issue as his party trails in opinion polls.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison , trailing in opinion polls ahead of a May 18 election, on Sunday campaigned on the hot-button issue of immigration, promising to cut annual migrant numbers and freeze the country's refugee intake.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics says net overseas migration in the year to September 2018 was 240,100. Voters in the largest cities of Sydney and Melbourne where most migrants settle have growing concerns over congestion, inadequate infrastructure and the rising cost of living.
