Posted in: Australia doubles foreign student visa fee in migration crackdown See in context

The problem has arisen due to the floodgates being opened to students (primarily South Asian countries) whose primary intention is to obtain permanent residency. Additionally, Aust. universities need to rethink their renumeration of senior figures whose salaries do not reflect productivity. In the current era of wokism and political correctness, they have blurred vision as to what unis are there for.

"The purpose is to.........." Seems that thriving on conspiracy theories is your speciality.

"the terroists were escaping at speed towards Ukraine" It suits the Russian narrative to say that.

The interesting thing here is the complete failure of intelligence by the Russian security operatives to detect the threat. Assume some bodies will be nervous in anticipation before they are headed to colder climes.
