Phong Nguyen, Chairman, ECCV

Victoria's 100,000 international students bring $3 billion into the Victorian economy every year but are made to feel like second class citizens when travelling on our trams, buses and trains. The Victorian Government is now trying to make new laws to prevent international students getting concessions (Herald Sun September 21). These laws will override a complaint we have made under the Equal Opportunity Act. Overseas students deserve a fair go. The Liberals and Greens should block this legislation.
