The government’s cap on foreign students could cripple Australia’s higher education sector and deliver a lasting blow to the economy, the business council has warned as parliament prepares to debate the controversial crackdown.
In response, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the government had launched a $32 billion plan to build 1.2 million homes by mid-2029, and legislated thestudent caps will have broad economic impacts, inflict reputational damage on the nation as a study destination, and cripple domestic research and critical skills development while scapegoating students as a cause of the housing crisis.
“Short-term policy reactions such as a cap on international students will not fix this issue, will detract from real solutions and have negative consequences for the broader economy.”
