Successive Australian government's have done everything they can to trash academia in Australia, all the talent moves onto greener pastures overseas.

Our universities are addicted to foreign student $$$ and will become less and less relevant as countries who've taken decisive action like China, India, and parts of Latin America/south Africa start to bloom.

We'll likely have a MAGA like government within an election or two, can't imagine that will help.
