        It's not folly, it's a very effective technique in furthering their goals (featuring a vast, weak underclass).

        Well educated Australians understand too much, stand up for selves and others, have expectations, demands even. Can't have that.

        Wouldn't it be great if, by providing more accessible higher education, it resulted in jobs, innovation and a stronger economy.
