        And who are you to decide who Australia accepts or doesn’t? These are paying University students worth hundreds of millions to the economy for the few years they are here then go back home. What is your problem with that loser?

        I was under the impression the Aus unis were at capacity and weren't increasing their international student level. At this stage. Allowing the students already studying here to finish their degrees.

        It is the criminals who support the terrorists and traitors in the Middle East and help them to destroy their truly criminal homelands who interfere in the affairs of States and attempt to impose their beliefs on the peoples of those States.

        Since forever Bernard but particularly since little Johnnie Howard joined the coalition of stupidity & took us to war in 2005. Every PM since has slavishly followed his path in bowing to the Saudi criminals.

        Mexicans are so nice and jovial. they brought our beaches alive with impromptu parties... they are kids of upper middle class. completely benevolent and fitting easily in. the others, hm not that much. I'd be happy to make a switch for more of good ...

        I bet the students whose studies would be cancelled, and their parents, whose fees would not be repaid, would have something to say about that. I predict a rush on Canadian citizenship applications.

        Oil. The universal language of power. Saudi helicopter pilots train on Sunshine Coast. What could possibly go wrong from the land that spawned Bin Laden and is now buying nuclear technology from Israel?
