This plan has sparked fears for key industries such as aged care, which relies heavily on migrant workers. The proposed cuts could lead to significant labor shortages and damage to the economy, particularly in sectors that are already struggling to find enough staff. A reduction in migrant workers could also have a ripple effect on other industries, such as construction and healthcare.
