What are the immediate implications of the Coalition's revised immigration policy, and how does it respond to public opinion?

The Australian Coalition's revised immigration policy aims to reduce permanent migration to 140,000 annually, abandoning its previous 160,000 net arrival target. This follows a Resolve Strategic survey showing 64% of voters favor lower immigration. The new goal is to maintain a lower intake than Labor's plan, though the specific net migration target remains unannounced.
