New Visa Rules May Hurt Western Australia Schools and Travel

New changes to Australia's migration rules could damage Western Australia's ability to attract visitors and students. Tourism and education leaders warn that stricter visa policies will harm these vital sectors in the state. The changes aim to lower overall migration numbers across the country. Local industry groups say the new steps will make it harder for international students and tourists to choose Western Australia. They fear students will pick other countries instead. Businesses that rely on visitors and foreign learners are now asking the government to rethink the plan.
