I watch the ABC and their jerk off reporters speak about the “plight” of international students who cannot afford to live here.
Lesson 1 ABC - all overseas students MUST have a return ticket as part of their visa conditions. I hear hilarious bullshit like India are not accepting incoming flights - crap. I’ll supply canoes if they can’t get flights. Off you go.
Lesson 2 ABC - Australia will not require overseas sourced labour in anywhere near the scale post crisis as we did before it
Lesson 3 ABC - most Australians will not benefit from large numbers of foreign workers as we’ll have an unemployment issue.
Now is the time to reshape our ridiculously lax working visa laws. Firstly, anyone wanting to study here WILL not be eligible to work here. They come here to study, then they leave.
Secondly, if these students are struggling right now, then the universities can support them, not the now deeply indebted Australian taxpayer. The universities are awash with cash and they can afford it. And no universities, you can’t lean on the long suffering taxpayer to do this. Just get it out of your multi billion dollar bank account.
