An air quality assessment on behalf of FM Conway said that before the chimney extension, there were no breaches of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, PM10, PM2.5 (inhalable particulate matter), nitrogen monoxide, sulphur dioxide or volatile organic compound limits.

Australia's Department of the Treasury has called those projections "doubtful" but has not released its own modelling on the economic impact of the changes.Dr Brown also warned that the caps could see some universities rescind offers already made to foreign students, strangle vital research programmes, and may mean an increase in fees for some Australian students.

But Dr Brown argues there is also a hit to Australia’s reputation which is harder to quantify, pointing to Canada as a warning. It introduced a foreign student cap this year, but industry bodies there say enrolments have fallen well below that, because nervous students would rather apply to study somewhere with more certainty."We need an international education system that has managed growth built in… it’s not for the minister to unilaterally decide on caps based on some formula which satisfies a political end."

Speaking with the Indian diving team, he says they were surprised someone with South Asian heritage, like Kyle, was so good at diving."The coach told me about how some of the kids didn't believe it was possible. Because there's not been Indians that have been in the top six in the world before.

"It was the first time I actually thought: Hang on, it’s important to see someone that looks like you doing something."That makes you think that it's possible."
