ACT leader and Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour will campaign on new immigration policies.

His proposed changes include stronger English language requirements, a daily levy, and a specialised enforcement unit targeting people who overstay their visas. 

Immigration lawyer Marcus Beveridge called Seymour's policies 'superfluous'. 

He told Ryan Bridge, "it's not really worth getting out of bed for this, because most of it's already here, it's super superfluous, it's posturing."
