Labor’s visa‑overstayer detention centre plan dubbed a “Donald Trump twist”

Labor’s proposal to place visa overstayers in a dedicated detention centre has been labelled a “Donald Trump twist” on immigration. The description highlights criticism that the plan mirrors hard‑line policies associated with the former U.S. president. Critics argue the move marks a sharp shift in Australia’s immigration approach, while supporters say it is needed to manage illegal stayers. The debate has already drawn strong reactions from political commentators and the public.
