[quote:Didyabringyabongalong:MV80MDM2MjAyXzczMTA0MzQ1XzMzNzAxQzFC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77244552:MV80MDM2MjAyXzczMTAzOTM2Xzc1Nzg2NjA5] According to a Chinese academic friend, Australians are largely regarded as fat and lazy, and our universities are already bottom choice, with most students preferring China/ Singapore/ Us and Uk. Kids come to Australia if they can’t get in somewhere better. The social control of those students is pretty intense. Despite that, l have it from a Monash staff member that Monash wants to see( and is recruiting) 5-10,000 extra students in every year over the next 5 years( so 25,000 extra in five years- currently around forty thousand;was thirty thousand about 6-7 years ago). More than one faculty have been told they are failing too many students- the administration requests that they lower their standards so these students get what they are purchasing is the implication. It’s a disaster really, and undermines the efforts of other really bright and hardworking students. [/quote] It would only be a matter of time if Universities were giving out easy passes that it would be found out. It would affect their ranking and ability to attract enrollment from full fee paying International students. Not saying that it doesn't happen here or there but would probably be quite rare. Most of international students that come here are wanting to enter into programs like Law, Medicine, Engineering & Sciences etc.. Those departments care very much about their reputation and their relative ranking among other universities around the world. Better reputation, better quality courses, can ask higher fees. U.S. is normally first choice destination and then places like UK, Canadia, Aus and NZ picking up the rest. Then there's hierarchy of cities too. Basically it all works on one fundamental law of the universe. Shit rolls down hill. In Australia we're not at the top but far from bottom. [/quote]

This "Sherwud" and "Chellmer" looks like a third world dump but is touted by the video author as being "upper class" and "old money" "upmarket" and "rich"

I can see that the NZers like going to Australia and kiss the ground because it is slightly better than their country which is really third world and I can see that the people from the Brown Crescent from India all the way across the jungle asia up to Chiner like to go to Australia so I would guess that its a setup up for them but still third world.
The streets and houses and stores all look pretty rough like something you would find in Africa.
