Headline as published: Tony Burke unveils major migration changes to tighten Australia's visa system — as it happened

One of the two things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • “Australia's” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked

Full article, in plain language

Buenos días, صباح الخير, Guten Morgen, सुप्रभात, Buongiorno, 좋은 아침 — and good morning.

Welcome to our live blog. This morning, you've got Alexandra Koster with you. I'll be taking you through what you need to know ahead of the Albanese government's anticipated migration plan announcement.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke is set to announce the government's new immigration plan at the National Press Club in Canberra at around 12.30pm.

The speech is titled: "The work of managing the migration program: who arrives, who stays, who leaves".

Burke was initially slated to reveal the government's plan back in August, but it was cancelled at the eleventh hour after the government failed to secure cabinet agreement on the best approach.

Today, it'll hopefully come to fruition. We'll take you through that — and everything else you need to know.

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is SBS News's report with its verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
