Shownotes Transcript

One aspect of Australia's draconian border regime that has grown in recent decades is the education sector, which has entrapped many International students in a system of privatised exploitation and precarity. We hear from Carol from the Support Network for International Students (SNIS) about the network and the concept of education trafficking. Later in the program, we turn to student resistance in solidarity with Palestine at the University of Melbourne. There the student union has backflipped from historic support for Palestine in the face of a reactionary backlash. We hear from Emma from Students for Palestine (Melbourne Uni).
