It is sad to see Labor crushing the university sector to achieve cheap political points.

Being a international student,Australian university do not have world class education they just treat us as cash cow .It’s just a pathway for residency .

The universities have become an industrial complex, mostly interested in promoting themselves and their influence. They’ve gaslit society into believing they are more valuable than they really are

We will never truly know how popular Australian universities until student visas get decoupled from permanent migration pathway.

Students do not buy property. They rent apartments and this inceases investors and construction. They don't just support universities but also small businesses like resturants. They support public transport, which allows more of it to be built. Winding back students will wind back the economy and mean less jobs, lower wages, less construction and less infrustructure including public transport.

I would probably encourage people to consider blue collar jobs given we have AI uncertainties and degrees now worth less than they used to be. White collar jobs in general are very competitive and most of them value experience over education. We consider degrees now because 'everyone has a uni degree' and that's probably true, but then again jobs value experience over education because everyone has that.

In a lot of cases it's just the first step to a permanent visa. Everyone knows that.

Universities have become corporatized for a few years now - too be honest the amount of universities/higher education in Australia is just ridiculous for its population and have been only held up by immigration and the promise of a visa

The universities have been living on easy street. If they want to attract international students then they need to improve their product.

Australia university standards are not as good nowadays so better to reform and have less quality universities.
@@chubby_corellaImported1mo ago
Don't forget to report how much money the university executives pay themselves!!!

Labor is off the mark here. The ON policy wasn't counting temp worker (fruit pickers/farms) or int students in the NOM

These universities see international students only as cash cows, nothing more. And I don't think anyone goes to Australia because they honestly believe the education is world-class.

I completed two degrees in Australia as an international student. Based on my experience, I can say with complete certainty that Australian universities are far from what are considered the best universities in the world. Either that, or what are known as the best universities are not actually the best, or even better. Half of my studies consisted of watching YouTube videos. My professor once told me that an international student in her third year of an undergraduate degree came to speak with him through a translator. So you can imagine how good the system is.

No such thing as government funding, only tax payer funding.

It's actually 55 billion dollars from international students. The magic number everyone misses or does not talk about is that International students earn just 13 billion dollars working here. So that's a net inflow into Australia. Not the other way round like most falsely spread with no data.
