| I have spend 6 years as an international Australian student and that statement is relatively inaccurate, it depends on which university are you talking about. I am enrolled in Melbourne uni and from my observation the students have a satisfactory English level. Our oral capability might be poor compared to the locals, but hey we don't have a lifetime experience in daily English speaking. So please do try to be more considerate it is difficult for us too. And as much as we want to improve our oral capability the occasional racist remark and ridicule by the white community is not helping.If you think overseas students are stupid then you shouldn't worry because we wont do well anyway and wont be any competition to you, but please don't try to drag us down by the ridiculing us and making us feel like an outcast. Unlike you our education fee isn't being subsidized by the government and we would like to make the most of our time and money just as much as you do. I am speaking from my experience in an Australian high school, it was unpleasant, thankfully universities is better. |

What's also interesting and missing from your education in history of the Maori people,but that doesnt surprise me at all because there are many like yourself who are absolutely positive in your tiny minds that you are superior because of your colour alone,is that the Maori people 'discovered' the 'land of the long white cloud' about 600 years before Abel Tasman!

"I have done my best to appreciate and understand the Aboriginal culture while I am in Australia."
Yes well australiasdoingwell just remember that you are now on Aboriginal land, you are a Mouri-European guest in spite of what "Convicts" did in the past..and also remember that had you stumbled on these shores over 200 years ago before the first fleet in your dugout canoe you would have been looked over for possible breeding genes, but if not up to scratch...wooosh !! no time even to get back to you canoe |

I shall indeed build a protective sheild around my acreage to protect the farsighted persons working on the inside and to keep curious obstructive persons like yourself out.
I have done my best to appreciate and understand the Aboriginal culture while I am in Australia.
They did a fine job of caretaking this country for 60,000 years.
From what I understand it was in a pristine condition before the white man arrived.How happy the creator must have been to see his creation so well looked after and appreciated.

"And they didn't want to be assimulated into the Aboriginal culture.Now look at what was left here and some are still trying to educate them."
Is there ever a time when you know what you're talking about australiasdoingwell ? how about you tell us how much YOU have assimilated into the Aboriginal culture
As for Indian students who speak little or no English, how would they understand a lecture given in Uni ?
As far as "walls of China" go, something tells me one around your property wouldn't go astray to keep you IN "house arrest" |

And they didn't want to be assimulated into the Aboriginal culture.Now look at what was left here and some are still trying to educate them.
The real reasons students from other countries are allowed to study here is because Australia needs the money,and needs and wants to be seen as non racist.
But because they've had the place to themselves for awhile its taking awhile to sink in that now they have to learn to share,or build a wall like the chinese did a few centuries ago to keep out the curious invaders.

| Australian Unis are not only spreading their arms wide open but their legs too. Everyone is in it. How come their visas are granted if they cant speak English properly? I thought that was mandatory. Do we have suck low standards in granting them enrollment and visas? |

As an Indian migrant I have been disgusted for so many years to find out that 90% of the Indian students I come across studying here cant speak English well or seem to be from doggy colleges/universities from India.
I could not believe that Australia's education system would spread its arms wide open and welcome such students and look the other way just for the money? Or can they really be that ignorant?
I was surprised today to read that this has finally come out in the open.http://au.news.yahoo .com/a/-/latest/5723377/a ustralias-overseas-educat ion-a-scam/.
I have nothing against an Indian students but there are those that study and work hard and do it the right way and those that want to take short cuts.
Hope this cracks down on this scam but I doubt it given the money involved. |
