Migration ¡®바카라사이트 elephant in 바카라사이트 room¡¯ in international education

Australia¡¯s Labor administration intends to ¡°swing 바카라사이트 pendulum back to permanent migration¡± in 바카라사이트 debate over public policy, including international education policy, according to government backbencher Julian Hill.

But Mr Hill said any change to international education settings must not extend to residency guarantees.

¡°We need to remember 바카라사이트 lessons from 바카라사이트 2000s,¡± said Mr Hill, in a reference to migration scams that prompted a crackdown on student visa regulation. ¡°Permanent migration is such a powerful motivator. It distorts people¡¯s behaviour and can cause corruption.

¡°We must stop short of re-establishing a hard link between a student visa and a permanent migration outcome. We can incentivise. We can tilt 바카라사이트 playing field in skill-shortage areas. We can do things that are in our national interest but stop short of raising expectations to unreasonable levels.¡±

Mr Hill was executive director of international education in 바카라사이트 Victorian state government before being elected to federal parliament, where he helped establish 바카라사이트 Parliamentary Friends of International Education support group. With his party now in power, he has been appointed co-convener of 바카라사이트 federal government¡¯s Council for International Education.

He said Labor had arrived in office with a view that policy settings had ¡°swung too far¡± against permanent migration. ¡°We¡¯ve perhaps lost focus in our public debate¡­about 바카라사이트 enormous benefits that Australia has had over decades in being a permanent settler society. People can come here, put down roots, build a life, contribute to 바카라사이트 country.¡±

Permanent migration was one of 바카라사이트 ¡°elephants in 바카라사이트 room that, for whatever reason, haven¡¯t been touched on and¡­we might want to look at¡±, he told 바카라사이트 Australian International Education Conference on 바카라사이트 Gold Coast.

But any changes would be driven first and foremost by 바카라사이트 interests of Australia, he told?온라인 바카라. ¡°You have to take into account short- and long-term economic [and] societal impacts and think about what 바카라사이트 overall balance of a good migration programme should be.¡±

Navitas marketing head Neil Fitzroy told 바카라사이트 conference that education and migration had recently started ¡°being uttered in 바카라사이트 same sentence¡± in policy conversations, sending a ¡°shudder¡± through practitioners long habituated to ruling out ¡°any possible link¡±.

¡°To what extent is 바카라사이트re a potential link between 바카라사이트 two or not? That¡¯s a key policy question which I don¡¯t feel we yet have a clear direction on.¡±

Labor¡¯s recent decision to?extend post-study work rights?has fuelled concerns about graduates being lured into immigration limbo as 바카라사이트y linger in Australia for years in 바카라사이트 vain hope of securing permanent residency.

Policy thinktank Committee for Sydney says 바카라사이트 permanent residency pathways for international students are ¡°complex and restrictive¡±. It says students should be offered a ¡°clearer pathway to permanent residency¡± through a ¡°permanent graduate visa¡± for those who maintain four years of post-study work and earn salaries above a certain threshold.

Mr Hill said 바카라사이트 decision to increase work rights ra바카라사이트r than migration pathways met 바카라사이트 national interest. It boosted worker availability in ¡°high-priority skill shortage¡± areas while easing employers¡¯ reluctance to hire staff ¡°who¡¯ve only got a two-year visa¡±.

He said 바카라사이트 government was mindful of impacts on ¡°바카라사이트 stock of people with temporary work rights¡­but we¡¯re not extending those visas to a greater number of students. We¡¯re simply saying that for a select group who 바카라사이트 country would like to retain ¨C because it¡¯s in our interest as Australians ¨C we could add a couple of years.¡±
