Immigration influencer Abul Rizvi has inadvertently admitted that Australia’s higher education “industry” is not selling education. They are immigration hubs selling work rights with the hope of transitioning to permanent residency.
Rizvi warned that Labor’s new restrictions on international students will likely prompt a spike in asylum applications from people seeking to remain in Australia.
“The caps are effectively the government telling each of the 1400 businesses in this industry (including universities, TAFEs and English language schools) how many new customers each business can have every year. That’s not how industry works in a market economy, it’s just madness”, Rizvi told The Australian.
