Individuals looking to emigrate to Australia after finding their ideal property could be interested in recent comments from an education expert.
Monash University researcher Bob Birrell has claimed that fewer overseas students will be able to acquire skilled migrant visas as a result of tough new regulations.
Speaking to the Economic Times in India, Mr Birrell suggested that the number of people permitted into the country would drop to just 4,000, down from 19,352 between 2007 and 2008.
As part of a new report from the Monash Centre for Population and Urban Research, he argued that the country's government would favour English-speaking applicants, who are capable of passing more difficult language tests.
In addition, Mr Birrell claimed that the move was "an unmistakable signal that the industry needs to set its marketing around selling an education that is valuable back in the country of origin".
This news comes after officers were called to an immigration centre on Christmas Island to resolve a violent protest being held by detainees.
