Two planeloads of passengers from Singapore have arrived in Sydney and Melbourne, among them the first overseas university students to return post-pandemic.

A sign is displayed inside the empty arrivals hall at the international airport in Sydney on 15 October, 2021.International students returning after almost two years separated from Australian campuses during the pandemic will hopefully be the first of many, says the head of the nation's peak university body.

Universities Australia chief executive Catriona Jackson says the students are the first from overseas since small numbers returned in November last year. "Around 130,000 international students remain outside Australia and they are all very eager to re-join their classmates." "We're confident that today's arrivals are just the first of many to return, at scale, for the start of first semester next year," she said.

Business as usual then a 🤪

While our government opens the doors to foreign students to attach to benefit payments, Australians are unemployed, business have failed over COVID,Australians having it financially tough, hospital staff under paid, bush fire relief money is in limbo,political bail outs are rife

I wish evey Intl student had Singapore citizenship so that we don't be subjected to this racist, injustice and draconian rules by Aussie government.

Congratulations
