"Good" you say...who is going to fill the gap in this $19b sector? How is this in Australia's best interest? Do you think universities are holding these places just for the Chinese, and that Indians will start flooding in? Work out how much it costs foreigners to come study here and you'll know why India won't fill the gap. So, what does (or did) Australia get out of this?
Good experienced uni lecturers leaving the country :(
