Private Colleges in Crisis.

 
 By Wesa Chau*
 Melbourne - It may be entirely coincidental that the Hales Institute, the latest private college to head into receivership, specialised in cooking and hairdressing training – the very coursesthe Federal Government removed from its priority list last month.
 
The Hales collapse, however, has placed another 1,000 thousand students in limbo and the Government needs to take care not to strangle Australia’s fourth largest foreign currency earner after coal, iron ore and gold.
 

Student deaths: Government has the tools, time to use them

Melbourne - It’s a tragedy that international students are being killed on our streets – but it will become a scandal if Governments don’t act swiftly to protect them and the $15 billion industry they sustain.
 
Thursday’s high-profile police operation in Melbourne’s western suburbs is a good start and should be maintained. 
It shows authorities can act on the ground to protect the community against thugs like those who killed graduating Indian international student Nitin Garg.  This kind of active policing is to be applauded and encouraged.  However, it cannot end there.
