Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Australia's conservative government announced plans Friday to double university fees for humanities students, in a bid to push people into more useful, "job-relevant" courses like maths and science.
Under the proposal—which critics panned as an "ideological assault"—the cost of degrees like history or cultural studies will rise up to 113 percent to around US$29,000, while other courses such as nursing and information technology will become cheaper.
Education Minister Dan Tehan—an arts graduate with two advanced degrees in international relations—said the government wanted to corral young people towards "jobs of the future" to boost the country's economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
"If you are wanting to do philosophy, which will be great for your critical thinking, also think about doing IT," Tehan said.
The plan would help pay for an additional 39,000 university places by 2023 and for cost cuts for courses like science, agriculture, maths and languages.
[...] "I'm an arts graduate and so is the minister for education so I'm not sure you can draw the conclusion that we're completely unemployable," said opposition lawmaker Tanya Plibersek.

Yes, this is correct. More STEM grads is only a good thing when your country hires them instead of bringing insectoid Chinks and stinky Poo-Poo Pajeets. Kicking out the Chinks and Pajeets would be a godsend to domestic STEM grads. But what greedy Jewish globalists running the tech industry want, is to have their cake and eat it too: They bring in foreign labor but still have enough of a domestic trained labor pool to further drive wages down. But, sadly, the Aussies won't kick the Chinks out, they're already too infiltrated. You look at the U.S. and how obviously badly it is infiltrated by Bolsheviks and Chinks, then you look at Australia which is 1000 times worse.
If America does go to war with China, we might as well just also destroy Australia, because at this point Australia might as well be China. Rest in pieces, poofters, you weren't bad at all until you let the Jews in.
