What is the percentage of commercial pilots trained by foreign schools in Australia

Here is an interesting one. I’m told that foreign owned schools do the majority of pilot training. Of course I realise the Air Force pilots are trained by a foreign owned company but I’m wondering about other commercial pilots.

Does anyone have any approximate figures?

I’m asking this question because while I think the Swiss are best at building watches, and Asia is the best at building electronics, I would have thought that Australian owned businesses could be the best at flight training.

I’m told that more and more of the commercial pilot flight training is being taken over by foreign entities. This means all the profit and wealth generated goes overseas.
