I’m confused about this ruling to stop foreign students from bringing dependents with them. Surely we’re turning away the brightest and the best and Universities rely on funding from foreign students. I would assume that many of them stay here and contribute greatly to society? Is it just the government trying to look as if they’re actually doing something by doing something totally unnecessary but easy to implement? Or am I missing something here?

Figures this year will have been distorted by people coming from Ukraine and Hong Kong, so cannot be taken to be typical or likely to continue beyond this year.

45,000 came across in little boats, less than 10% of the total.
