Andrew Bartlett on the international student mess:

There are now reports that the education sector is trying to crack down on so-called ‘rogue education agents’. It’s hard to see how that achieves anything more than window dressing. The previous government specifically exempted education agents from the regulatory requirements which currently apply to migration agents. This exemption was provided specifically to make it easier for Australian educational institutions to recruit students, without the ‘red tape’ of registration and quality control. (my emphasis)

Another fine example of that much loved Australian tradition, the rort.
