What happened

Well supportedReported by 16 independent outlets

Tony Burke announced new migration restrictions supported by the Albanese government and managed by the Department of Home Affairs. International students, particularly those from India and China, may no longer bring family unless they are pursuing a PhD degree. The government also plans to crack down on visa overstayers, potentially targeting up to half a million temporary visa holders. Additionally, the policy slashes visa extensions for backpackers and restricts skilled workers in health and aged care from bringing their families.
