We're backing up this week for another episode of The Koala News on the Global Horizons podcast. Why? Because the spectacle of the Senate hearing into the current international ed legislation before Parliament was gifted a surprise 4th day.

And what a gift it was!

Today, Dirk Mulder and Rob Malicki will take you through the highlights of the day, including stellar performances in the hot seat by a range of international education heavy weights.

But will those performances shift the dial towards more common-sense policy? I guess we won't have long to wait to find out... the committee is due to report on October 8th.

And so came down the Curtain on perhaps the strangest show that Australian international education has ever seen.

But to kick us off, we're joined by Shamielah Toefy, the Conference Manager for the upcoming AIEC conference. If someone in the industry would be justified to be feeling the heat right now, it would be Sham with just weeks until the most important AIEC conference ever to be held. Sham takes us behind the scenes of what these pivotal last weeks are like as every detail is put in place and cross checked.
