Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has moved quickly to distance the Liberal Party from a leaked radical migration plan reportedly drafted under his predecessor Sussan Ley.

The leaked plan to several news outlets aimed to ban migration from 37 regions—within 13 countries—because they were high-risk due to terrorist activity, including areas such as Gaza.
