Treacherous Re-colonization: ALP's corrupt Foreign Student Racket

Federal Education Minister Jason Clare announces increase in foreign student intake by 295,000 net per year.  This is a catastrophe for Australian cities. Labor's foreign student system is a corrupt racket. The intake is not truly multicultural or humanitarian, as it consists of about 90% affluent students from the People's Republic of China and India, rather than refugees or individuals from impoverished backgrounds. This system supports the wealth accumulation of wealthy developers and capitalists at the expense of other important social concerns.

This approach is environmentally, socially, and economically detrimental for Sydney and other capital cities.

1. It primarily benefits wealthy students, many of whom are enrolled in degrees that do not contribute meaningfully to our society. This results in a decline in urban quality of life and limits access to affordable housing for Australian citizens.

2. It places a strain on taxpayer-funded public assets and infrastructure, such as public housing and hospitals. The influx of visa holders can lead to increased congestion and overloading of services.

3. Rising rents are displacing Australian residents. Building high-rise accommodations for foreign students often enriches developers rather than addressing local housing needs.

4. Increased housing construction contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and threatens heritage sites, while facilitating a higher intake of foreign students, which worsens our balance of payments.

5. The system distorts our immigration policy for the benefit of corporate donors, compromising the interests of ordinary citizens.

6. It serves as a pathway to permanent residency, increasing labor supply and potentially suppressing wages and job security.

7. The underlying agenda of the foreign student system appears to be the overpopulation of Australia for corporate favors and promises of lucrative positions for politicians, as property prices continue to rise. This situation is unwanted by a significant portion of the population, as shown in recent polls.

The foreign student system is not an export industry; it raises concerns about the transformation of Australian cities for corporate profit. It does not genuinely reflect multicultural or humanitarian values, as it disproportionately benefits wealthy individuals at the expense of broader societal needs.

Many Australians are becoming aware that the Albanese government is perceived as prioritizing corporate interests over the needs of citizens. This raises questions about representation and accountability.

Immigration is now ten times our long term pre-Howard Govt average. 

The rapid population growth in Australia has serious environmental implications, including threats to native species like koalas.

Save our koalas? Then campaign now to end immigration. The housing  construction building  industry is the biggest Greenhouse polluter and driver of land clearing and deforestation of high bio diverse habitat to supply hard wood timber and threatens near by eco systems

Since 1996, Greater Sydney and Melbourne have seen population increases of approximately 200,000 each year, significantly exceeding long-term averages. Immigration rates are now ten times higher than historical norms.

To protect our environment and communities, there is a call to reconsider immigration policies and their impacts on housing and ecological sustainability.

Relevant Statistics

In January 2014, there were approximately 560,000 international students in Australia. By May 1, 2025, this number had nearly doubled to about 1.1 million. Over 440,000 individuals on student-related visas are from the PRC, with many enrolled in primary and secondary education.

Close to 800,000 international students are attending universities or reputable colleges, while about 200,000 are enrolled in TAFE and vocational education courses. However, only around 180,000 to 210,000 of these students are in fields that could significantly benefit Australia, such as medicine, engineering, and IT. Many others are in less relevant business or economics programs.

The majority of those in vocational education courses are from India and the Subcontinent, with a significant number also from Latin America.
