International students stranded and forgotten in Australia - after we've taken their money

Friday, 6 November 2020 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques talks with two community services workers who have been involved in making sure that hundreds, if not thousands, of international students are getting the basics for their survival, housing, food, health...
They and their families paid huge amounts of money to come and study here and then got stuck because of COVID-19.
And there has not even been one attempt by the government to include them in the anyway meagre payments for jobseeker/keepers...

And the silence around this is deafening...
