What does that "solve" exactly? Australia wants students. And we want them to work while studying.

30% of the Australian population are recent migrants and Student Visas make up 39% of all Visas so this affects a lot of people.

The vast majority of them are genuine students studying at some of the best schools in the world - we don't want to change anything that will hurt those students.
