Coalition migration cuts may breach India FTA, universities warn

The Australian Coalition's proposed migration cuts, including drastic reductions to graduate visas, risk violating the Australia-India free trade agreement that allows Indian students to stay and work up to four years post-study. Universities argue the changes would undermine Australia's competitiveness. The plan is part of a broader policy to cut net overseas migration to 100,000 in the first two years, with legal and economic implications uncertain.
