Profits Over Students?
The refusal of student visas sparked criticism. A report points to the significant revenue that is generated due to the visa denial under the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement, while the government declares a “cap” on students. It doubts the system’s transparency and profit priorities over genuine student applications.

Trade Skills in Limbo
The report also underscores prolonged delays in trade recognition by Trade Recognition Australia (TRA), which has been outstanding for 18 months. It forces qualified tradespeople to be stuck in limbo in their 18-month working visa period, obstructing their careers while worsening the labour shortages in construction and housing.
