Have a listen! A really good START to what has been going on.
With it though, I have a couple of observations.
– It’s evident that there are some in INZ and the education sector that are just now beginning to grasp structural deficiencies: under-resourcing, scams and all that characterise our ‘international’ education ‘industry’ (or to put it in Joyce terminology – our education export industry)
– Lacking in the programme was an acknowledgment of the degree to which the scamsters (and I mean some in our legal profession, NZ based immigration consutants, NZ private education providers [some having packed up shop after creaming it], and others) have been the enablers.
It was good to hear there is now (finally) some interest on this issue,
It’s been damaging our reputation
It’s contributing to our falling rankings in the tertiary education sector
… and it’s resulted in too many people (and their families) who can least afford it to have had their ‘tickets clipped’ by complete and utter arseholes both here in NZ, and their agents overseas (complicitly).
I wonder why it has taken so long to see the bleeding obvious sometimes
OnceWasTim well done mate,
labour need to spear National through the heart with this one.
By using one of their most promising fresh young Shadow spokesperson’s they have ever had!
The critically intelligent Chris Hipkins.
