Blow to international education ‘may not be as bad as feared’

The Australian people will decide when they will open their borders and how many international students enrolment they will now accommodate in their own countries, not frivolous pseudo experts or the university management most of whom will now face enhanced examination of their finances and practices with the involvement of the law enforcement. The university fairy tale has come to a humbling and unceremonious exit and will be accorded short shrift in due course, yet the hubris endures but not for long. The Australian people will communicate their displeasure via their local representatives and the latter have been busy lately, at the receiving end. Experts will not matter, most will be unemployed given that they would be unskilled at most things that will matter; academics, there will be an oversupply of, and most university real estate will be converted to other purpose – perhaps building train stations, mental health and community centres or public housing. Labour’s recent utterings are a portent of things to come and labour has seen the light. They are a quick study and now espouse much less immigration and for those that are out of touch with real people and their sentiments, reduced immigration will mean much reduced international students enrolling! Astonished, that some still have to be explained this inverse relation explicitly. This maths like all things with numbers is definite, irreversible and closed to abstract interpretations.
