This is the best summary I could come up with:
The federal government is set to unveil a major new migration strategy on Monday that aims to dramatically cut Australia's intake.
Temporary migration has jumped sharply over the past year — largely driven by foreign students — leading to a record intake.
Rather, it is seen as part of a broader international trend, involving middle-income families in India, South-East Asia and Latin America seeking better opportunities in high-income countries including Australia, Canada, the US and UK.
As part of the new migration strategy — which has already been signed off by cabinet and follows months of consultation with the higher education sector, business groups and other stakeholders — steps will be taken to cut the intake of foreign students entering low-quality courses.
"People are coming here, enrolling in courses that don't really add substantially to either their skills base or to the national interest here," Mr Albanese said.
Last month, the annual Scanlon Foundation report on community attitudes found social cohesion at its lowest level since the survey began more than 15 years ago, with 33 per cent worried the migration intake is too high.
The original article contains 460 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 60%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
It's funny when the two of us more-or-less agree on the summary. Nonetheless, whoever reads both often ends up just basically reading the original lol.
