Episode Details

Pauline Hanson’s party is pushing for a drastic cut in international student visas—reducing over 750,000 temporary visa holders in three years, slashing university grants by half, and eliminating secondary visas for family members. This comes as universities, heavily reliant on international student fees, face serious financial strain. Meanwhile, a surge in bridging visas and rejected applications has created a massive tribunal backlog of over 53,000 cases, despite recent reforms. Critics warn the plan targets “visa-hoppers” but risks crippling Australia’s education sector and economy.
