Australia to tighten migration rules for foreign students
–
Neutral summary
The Australian government has announced plans to tighten its migration policy, including barring foreign students from bringing partners and children while they study. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke will unveil the measures on Thursday at the National Press Club in Canberra. The authorities aim to cut net overseas migration from over 300,000 to 225,000 by 2028, and also tighten rules for “visa hoppers” and working holiday-makers. Burke dismissed suggestions that the changes were politically motivated, saying the work had been underway for some time.
