Alan Tudge maintains the government is capping the refugee intake in order to ease congestion in major cities, despite refugees making up just 2 per cent of overseas arrivals last year.

Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Minister Meanwhile, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows foreign students made up 30 per cent of arrivals.

Mr Tudge has all but ruled out capping international student migration, saying overseas students are ‘a massive part of our economy’, injecting $32 billion into Australia’s economy each year. The Liberal frontbencher notes the Coalition increased the refugee intake while in government, but freezing it at current levels means Australia remains the third ‘most generous’ country in the world when it comes to refugee resettlement.
