Australian gov does FK all for the worker
Graduate market is flooded with international students. Thing is, if you're an international student, shouldn't that mean that at the end of your studies you must travel back to your country of origin? Isn't that what an international student is supposed to be?
Edit: Just wanted to thank all of the Indian *cough, I mean international students commenting on this post. It seems I have poked a hornets nest and upset many people.
You all more or less regurgitate the same stuff, somehow thinking that wealth comes from money? Wealth comes from goods and services (this is the study of economics as opposed to the study of finance).
A lot of you also fail to see things holistically. 1 job for 100 eligible candidates produces a lower starting salary than 1 job for 10 eligible candidates. I can't believe I have to explain this to you.
In case you guys didn't know, the majority of Australia's wealth comes from its natural resources. The Australian economy doesn't really manufacture or produce anything; it merely digs stuff up from the ground which it then exports.
Exporting natural resources is what gets you USD, USD is the worlds reserve currency; USD is what allows your economy to import goods/services that your economy doesn't produce or doesn't have a comparative advantage in.
Having more goods and services is what it means to be wealthy; and sometimes instead of your economy producing said goods and services it instead imports it using the worlds reserve currency (which is the USD).
So in light of the above, importing more people doesn't actually increase the natural resources that Australia exports; this is corroborated with the fact that the Australian economy has had sluggish nominal GDP growth, and that GDP per capita has actually gone backwards.
I also don't think its a good idea that Universities be run like businesses, as this will compromise the quality of education and produce questionable candidates as well as negatively impact the academic reputation of the university in the long run.
I also disagree with international students being eye gouged by said Unis and exploited in the labor market; the abuse of international students is a lose lose situation for both domestic and international students; only Uni Vice chancellors benefit from this.
And also to the Indian Nationalists, yes I understand you have been subject to Modis right wing nationalistic propaganda, but do understand that no you are not gods gift to the world. The anglosphere made it to the moon without you guys during the cold war.
