At least its not a skatepark pedo thread.

The Albanese government has announced an international student cap of 295,000 new places for 2026, an increase of almost 10% despite Australia’s ongoing housing and rental crisis.

Education portfolio ministers said on Monday their National Planning Level for next year added an extra 25,000 places compared to 2025, but claimed reforms had put the numbers on a “more sustainable path” and the 2026 level would be 8% below the “immediate post-Covid peak”.

>But the cap does not include foreign students who are “transitioning to publicly funded universities from secondary school studies in Australia and from affiliated pathways providers or TAFE institutes”, the ministers said.

>From 2026 public universities will also be able to increase their allocations by showing increased engagement with Southeast Asia, and by providing student accommodation.
