but with substantial levels of immigration Oz has a chance of survival.
This is not about immigration, it is about the RATE of immigration & the profile of immigration.
548k 12mths net overseas migration last 12mths on top of a rental crisis.
Apparently major componentry being international students that go straight into the rental market.
Why the huge numbers of international students being put ahead of our young rental generation?
Government needs to fund the Uni's for education for our young folk and stop looking at international students as a method of taking tertiary education off the government balance sheet.
Any pollie taking a proposed Cap on international students to the next election along with a realistic financial plan to support the Uni's would get a sympathetic ear from the electorate one would suggest.
An if that means our Uni's need to throttle back on growth to reflect our population of 30 million and a substantiable % of international students so be it.
Oz has much higher levels of international to domestic student % compared to say UK, Canada or USA. Multiples of.
