Australia's government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, is planning to address public discontent over record-high migration by implementing a Migration Strategy aimed at reducing net migration by half within two years.

Switzerland's national elections saw a shift to the right as concerns about immigration outweighed fears about climate change. The right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) increased its share of the vote to 29%, campaigning on preventing the country's population from exceeding 10 million.
