Media Release: Foreign students must be stopped from abusing asylum
Foreign students should be required to return home before applying for further study in Australia to prevent abuse of the immigration system and reduce the backlog in deporting unlawful non-citizens.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said universities addicted to easy foreign student money were complicit in the abuse, which was partly responsible for the record 2.6 million temporary visa holders currently in Australia.
“Many of these people are occupying homes and accessing services that should be for Australians first,” Senator Hanson said. “It’s apparent that when it comes to some of these students, there’s no intention to study and every intention of abusing the system to access economic benefits and high Australian wages.
“There’s been an explosion of foreign students abusing the system with ‘course-hopping’. They get a student visa, drop out soon after and apply to a bunch of bogus schools or courses while remaining on a bridging visa which allows them to work and access housing and services in Australia.
“On average these bridging visas last around 200 days before their new study visa application is processed. If they’re knocked back they just appeal it – the average waiting time for appeals is another 64 weeks, again on a bridging visa. Many even claim asylum despite having no grounds, because your average waiting time on such an application is around three years. If that’s knocked back, they just appeal it again so they can spend more time making money in Australia.
“The number of foreign students on bridging visas has blown out from 13,000 to more than 107,000 in just three years. The system is being scammed, and universities addicted to foreign student money are part of the problem. It’s no coincidence many universities based elsewhere have campuses and shop fronts in Sydney where most foreign students want to end up. For what reason does Central Queensland University – which in 2023 recorded a 57.2% first-year dropout rate among foreign students – have a campus in Sydney if not to grab a slice of the foreign student windfall?
“It’s another example of why Australian universities must be broken of their addiction to foreign students and be forced to prioritise education for Australians.”
Senator Hanson said One Nation’s policy would ensure foreign students who drop out of courses would not receive bridging visas to remain and work in Australia, and would not be able to lodge appeals with the Australian Review Tribunal (ART).

Good morning Australia,
Don’t forget when Declan Cutler was set upon by a group of 8 African gang members.
He suffered 152 injuries, 56 stab wounds and 66 force wounds.
He was an innocent 16 year old boy, slaughtered by Africans in the streets of Melbourne for being white.
Islamic loudspeakers. African machete crime. Indian...everything. Bureaucrats importing votes & corruption for self-presevation. One might expect that Aussies who founded the country and paid tax for decades might have a say regarding the preservation of our precious, previously safe, majority middle class, unique Aussie culture.
Government greed on tobacco excise is sending tens of billions into the hands of criminals while damaging Australian small businesses.
This is just one story of how this black market is affecting small business in regional towns.
He is playing the biggest word games himself with that idiotic “we have changed our position” crap…yet he is not interested in word games…he is making people despise politicians more than they already do.
“But what riles me about Gillard’s misogyny schtick is that she presided over the greatest act of legislative misogyny against women in this country we have ever seen when she gutted the sex discrimination act to completely removed our biological rights.”
This is 100% true.
Victoria is Labor's crime catastrophe

This is what 10+ years of Labor governance looks like. No other state comes close. Vote them out.
Australian PM Dictator Alboshevik has demanded Australians not to criticise Labor politicians, following leftist outcry over billboards labelling Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan a "witch".
Alboshevik warns there will be ‘consequences’ for criticising corrupt Labor Politicians & the ‘Party’.
Responsibility, REALLY?!
The man that lies, gaslights, deflects blame & has never taken responsibility for anything in his life 😡
This is from a man that yelled “smash her” in Parliament, called a politician a “Boofhead” in Parliament, labelled a person as having “Tourette’s”, he personally attacks politicians chance he gets, he used an entire Federal campaign to personally attack non-Labor Politicians.
Albo:
“Do as we say, not as we do”
“Do not question or criticise the ‘Party’ or those oppressing you, putting you in danger & that are destroying your lives”
Alboshevik is an arrogant, narcissistic, parasitic, deceitful & insufferable little man.
The Reserve Bank has secretly admitted what everyone already knows - mass migration is making the housing crisis worse and the government is doing nothing about it.
It's very simple - just pull the migration lever!
