NSW plan to bring 1000 overseas students per week

I somewhat agree with this. The message was loud and clear, to come home, while you could.

I have a relative that left for Europe, knowing that she may not be able to return, and the govt makes it clear in the hoops you have to jump through.

A friend was offered the ability to return, but opted not to.

But, with neither being able to return now, it's a blow to the face to allow students to skip the queue. Otoh... Those people weren't warned and may be half way through their studies, which sucks too.

My proposal: every foreign student pays a little bit more to enable 1 extra Australian paying spot also. If that means only 500 foreign and 500 more Aussies, vs 1000 foreign, fine.
