Labor to announce stricter immigration rules; child support debtors to face travel ban

Australia's Labor government is set to announce tougher immigration rules, with Immigration Minister Tony Burke expected to reveal details of new visa restrictions. The measures include blocking families of international students from entering Australia and preventing visa hopping, according to reports of the announcement.

The government also plans to ban people with child support debts from leaving Australia, as part of the broader policy shift. Opposition figure Barnaby Joyce has criticized the measures, suggesting they mirror One Nation policies, though Burke's press club appearance was previously cancelled.
