The Coalition is promising bigger overall migration cuts than Labor but it is preparing to vote against the caps when the bill is in the Senate this week.
Australia’s bid to drive down the number of international students is in jeopardy after the Coalition resolved to block the government’s bill to reduce the universities’ reliance on overseas students.
The federal government is already on track to overshoot next year’s immigration target, in part because international students are staying in the country when they finish their studies. Universities have said the caps would create headaches for them and they have complained of uncertainty given how late in the year thewas due to be voted on. Some have already taken the unprecedented step of blocking new applications for 2025 as they struggle to plan and foreign students continue arriving.
