Political debate has intensified regarding One Nation’s immigration platform after conflicting figures were presented by party representatives. David Farley initially stated that the party’s net migration target was approximately 130,000, while simultaneously suggesting an additional allowance of 100,000 migrant workers, including those in the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme and backpackers. Farley had suggested these figures were not significantly different from current Labor government policy.

However, Barnaby Joyce later intervened, asserting that Farley had misspoken and made a "rookie mistake." Joyce’s intervention suggests a lack of internal consensus on the party's official stance, leading to accusations that the policy is "all over the shop." The discrepancy centers on whether the 100,000 additional workers are included within the 130,000 cap or represent an entirely separate category of migration that would push the total numbers higher. While Farley attempted to frame the party's position as aligned with broader national trends, Joyce’s correction indicates that the party leadership is attempting to maintain a more restrictive public image regarding migration numbers. The confusion has left observers questioning the consistency of One Nation's platform as they navigate the complexities of skilled and seasonal labor requirements.
