International Students

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:17): Supplementary question: how many of these students are from Hong Kong? Given Australia is now drafting a safe haven plan for those students in Australia, from Hong Kong, what is the state government doing to support that?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (15:17): I thank the honourable member for her question. I don't have the figures of the number of students from Hong Kong. As I said, the most likely originating airports are Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. I will provide the member with a response in relation to our plan around students from Hong Kong.
