Peter Dutton has declared that he will join the Greens in an attempt to block the  Federal Government's plan to put a cap on international students.

Senator Jane Hume told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, 'we actually think international students caps are a good idea, but the legislation that the government has put forward, we think could actually make the problem worse.'
