Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume says international student caps in Australia should be implemented “in consultation” with universities.
The Coalition has joined the Greens in rejecting Labor’s cap on international students to curb net migration.
The plan – which involved capping student numbers at 270,000 – has been criticised by the higher education sector as chaotic and confusing.
“Not just the city-centric universities either – the G8 guys – but also the private providers and the regional and rural universities too, to find the right cap that is going to work for the system,” Ms Hume told Sky News Australia.
