To clear the backlog of bridging visas, applications will also be fast-tracked. <\/p>\n

With One Nation planning to cut 750,000 migrants<\/a> from the national intake, and Labor\u2019s talks with the Coalition falling through, the government has faced pressure to outline how it will reach its migration targets.<\/p>\n

Senior ministers have confirmed to 7NEWS Political Editor Mark Riley the plan will be unveiled on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It comes after new polling revealed Australians want a crackdown on migration and for the country\u2019s refugee intake to be slashed.<\/p>\n

More than 60 per cent of Australians want a cut to the intake of refugees from 20,000 a year to 13,000, while 48 per cent want a ban on partner and family visas for international students. <\/p>\n

Forty per cent of Australians say the government\u2019s plan to reduce net migration from 301,000 to 225,000 is still too high.<\/p>\n
