Australia’s University Scam: A Trump-Style Reckoning Needed, By James Reed

Australia's universities are a festering Ponzi scheme, fleecing locals while peddling junk degrees to international students for profit. Macrobusiness exposes the rot: vice chancellors rake in multi-million dollar a year, turning campuses into visa factories that churn out permanent residencies, not scholars. This corruption mirrors South Australia's blackout-prone green energy farce and the 51,000 illegal migrants bleeding the nation dry. From universities to energy to borders, Leftist elites, especially smug lawyers and academics, sell out Aussies for globalist fantasies, ignoring locals desperate for aid. It's time for a Trump-style purge: defund the ivory towers, slash foreign students, and save Australia.

Australian universities are a racket. Macrobusiness slams their addiction to international student fees, 2.46 million temporary visa holders, including students, as of September 2024, per the Department of Home Affairs. These "students" often exploit generous work rights and pathways to permanent residency, with 155,000 net long-term arrivals in early 2025. The National Tertiary Education Union reports 300+ university executives earn more than state premiers, while domestic students face overcrowded classes and non-English-speaking groupmates. Vice chancellor's million dollar plus salaries epitomises the greed, as universities prioritise profit over education. X posts echo the rage: "Australian unis are immigration scams, not schools" (@AussieTruthX). This isn't learning, it's a corporate corruption, and locals are the losers.

As we have seen with other issues in today's blog discussions, such as immigration, the ABC and academic apologists call this "progress." They praise universities as "global hubs," renewables as "sustainable," and illegals as "vulnerable." It's a lie. Universities dilute degrees, with Macrobusiness noting declining standards due to international student surges. This is Marxism cloaked as virtue. In South Africa, it's "kill the Boer"; in Australia, it's "fill the unis, open the borders, go Green." The goal? Divide, erode sovereignty, silence dissent. Call it genocide or corruption, and you're "racist"; demand reform, and you're "backward." These elites would scream if their suburbs faced blackouts or migrant gangs, but for you? Nothing, mere dispossession. This is the West's suicide pact, greed, lies, and elites over citizens.

Trump's plan, defund bloated U.S. universities, cut foreign students, shows the way. Australian unis, per Macrobusiness, are "visa factories" for immigration, not education. Defund them: slash grants until they prioritise local Aussies. Cap international students at 50,000 or much less, not millions, to ease housing and restore quality. X users get it: "Trump's draining the swamp; we need to drain our uni. cesspool" (@PatriotOz). And cesspools they truly are.
