PM Anwar affirms federal govt's obligation in fulfilling state allocations after PAS-led Terengganu accuses Putrajaya of 'cruelty' for oil payment arrearsSYDNEY, March 21 — Australia will begin enforcing tougher visa rules for foreign students this week as official data showed migration hit another record high, which is likely to further exacerbate an already tight rental market.
“The actions this weekend will continue to drive migration levels down while delivering on our commitments in the migration strategy to fix the broken system we inherited,” Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil said in a statement. Australia boosted its annual migration numbers in 2022 to help businesses recruit staff to fill shortages after the Covid-19 pandemic brought strict border controls, and kept foreign students and workers out for nearly two years.Date released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday showed net immigration rose 60 per cent to a record 548,800 in the year to September 30, 2023, higher than the 518,000 people in the year ending June 2023.
