International students have come under fire from both sides of federal politics in the past week.
The Albanese government introduced legislation to parliament last Thursday to put caps on the number of international students each institution can enrol. In his budget speech Treasurer Jim Chalmers said “[international student] enrolments have grown without being matched by an increase in student housing supply”.
This puts pressure on prices and rents, especially in our cities and suburbs. It makes finding housing harder for every one.
