Subclass 500: Going back to normal

Listen on

Episode notes

Since July, the cost of living crisis has gotten a whole lot worse for international students. Thanks to the reinstatement of pre-pandemic work restrictions, their maximum working hours have been limited to 24 hours per week. Experts call it a return to "normal", but those facing financial peril say otherwise. 

This week, Wuxi Fan talks to three students whose lives have been turned upside down by this U-turn.
