Thank you, President. Minister, you have just confirmed that the government's international students cap bill is a racist dog whistle of a policy that falsely conflates international students, the housing crisis and the cost-of-living crisis. It punishes international students for the government's failures. As if this scapegoating wasn't enough, you have now more than doubled the fees of student visa applications. When will the government stop punching down on international students and start supporting them? (Time expired)
