Labor's International Student Racket Is Failing Australians

July 02, 2026
Our universities have become so addicted to the income they derive from international students that they are letting students onto courses who speak no English.
These students, who speak next to no English, then use AI to pass assignments and translation software to translate their lectures. It must be added that this is going on at some of Australia’s leading universities on some of their top courses. This is dumbing down our universities and having a negative impact on the education of Australians. Is it any wonder that we’re sliding down the international university league tables?

The Labor Government has sat back and allowed the situation regarding international students to become an out-of-control racket.

One Nation would ensure that only international students who speak fluent English are able to enrol at Australian universities. We would ensure that they are genuinely here to study, and even then their numbers would be limited.
