Whatever your views on international students and immigration policy more broadly, it’s an unarguable fact that the ESOS Amendment Bill (providing for capping) is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever cobbled together. It’s precisely what you would imagine an anti-immigration bill designed by the Department of Education would look like, particularly since there have been no Treasury costings completed on it and DHA input has been very limited.
Not the Albanese government’s finest hour.
