Australian Senator Andrew Bragg has been cautioned by colleagues, including Angus Taylor, for diverging from policy in a National Press Club speech where he suggested lower-income earners should accept substandard housing, amid warnings against changes to working holiday visas.

Liberal Senator Andrew Bragg has proposed substantial cuts to net migration in Australia, along with a plan to reduce 96% of the house construction code. His proposals have met with some opposition from his Liberal colleagues.
