One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has stated she does not care if cuts to skilled migration negatively impact Australian businesses. Speaking amid controversy over Labor's proposed immigration overhaul, Hanson emphasized her focus on preserving a "decent standard of living" and "way of life" in Australia.

Labor's Immigration Minister Tony Burke had planned to announce measures restricting family visas on-shore and limiting working holiday visas, but the speech was shelved following leaks. The Australian Chamber of Commerce warned that such restrictions would deter skilled migrants, undermine the migration system, and harm the economy.

One Nation's own immigration plan includes slashing immigration to 130,000 places, deporting 75,000 visa overstayers, refusing migrants from "nations known to foster extremist ideologies," and withdrawing from the UN Refugee Convention.

In an interview with News24 (formerly Sky News), Senator Hanson said she "did not care" about the potential business impact, stating, "Whether it is going to affect their businesses, they're not going to sell that many products, or you know, the universities because they're not going to have that number of foreign students coming in here. I don't care."

She also expressed a desire to revise the skilled migration list to prioritize doctors, nurses, engineers, and others who would "benefit our country." Hanson distinguished tourists as holding a different visa category.

Although One Nation has not specified all countries targeted by their immigration stance, Hanson previously singled out Gaza and stated earlier this year she did not believe there were any "good" Muslims.
