Joyce has the solution
Looks like Joyce is finally getting some use out of his (free?) Zoology degree - it sounds like he is describing aphid farming with the Government/universities as the ants - he constantly presents foreign students as a source of income or future support for New Zealand, but never mentions us embracing them and their culture - it's all take, take, take...
I'm guessing with his eye on the market he'll be expecting the same ant behaviour referenced in this study Defensive behavior of ants in a mutualistic relationship with aphids where the ants repel rival ants (from other universities) before protecting aphids (overseas students) from other predators (the often quite racist attitudes of the lumpen proletariat).
If we want foreign students to come we have to embrace and accommodate them properly, not just form a parasitic relationship with their wallets. -

Acolyte entertainment...
All I know is that there are a lot of people spinning self-serving stories about how their disciple ought get a fuck load more cash.
At last, we are back on thread and talking about paying students to learn, rather than charging them...

just to watch GoT....
The production values on Game of Thrones seem so high, that it seems a shame you can't see it on a big movie screen, I wonder if they might not take the reverse action (now that so many cinemas seem to be going digital) and also package it for a cinematic release?
