One Nation can't agree if its own immigration cap grows Australia or shrinks it

One Nation's 130,000 migration cap means opposite things depending on who you ask. Senator Malcolm Roberts says subtracting 220,000 annual departures yields net migration of minus 90,000 — population shrinkage. Barnaby Joyce calls the same figure a 'small net increase'. The gap: roughly 220,000 people per year. A party built on hardline immigration can't say whether its flagship policy grows the nation or shrinks it.
