NSW to bring back international students

Students to return

Not sure about the priorities here, but the New South Wales government is getting set to add the 3,000 folks per week being brought through its international border, which is already by far the highest of any state or territory.

Plans are now afoot to begin bringing back the international students, before they are lost to other countries.

The numbers are expected to scale over time.

Surprisingly rental vacancy rates are declining towards record lows across much of Australia at the moment, but there has been a surfeit of student rentals and small CBD apartments in the largest capital cities.
