MELBOURNE — On April 20, 80 students from universities across the city marched to Parliament House to protest against the fact that Victoria is the only Australian state in which international, postgraduate and part-time students have to pay full fares on public transport. The protesters called on the Labor state government to act on the findings of the NSW Administrative Decision Tribunal that it was an act of racial discrimination not to issue concession cards to international students.
