Perhaps it should have been The Green Eyed Goblin?
You can't tell me you wouldn't have done it if you didn't have the opportunity. You would have been stupid not to have done so.
Get over yourself. You keep harping on about it all the time.
As said multiple times, there are tons of Aussies on our side of the ditch that are taking advantage of it too.
All rocking up with their "thongs" and "seex packs of XXXX"
Back on topic. They have been saying that the student loan thing was going to stop for a long time, even the ex government was saying the same thing.
Hence why I ended up leaving school a year early to do it. Stupid in retrospect but haven't had any issues with it so far!
Who knows? Maybe they may end up adjusting the funding, but slashing it to what was said will meet a hell of a lot of opposition the length of the country, not just from the students, but also from the organisations the length of the country.
Remember that GA is very limited in NZ with job outside of instructing quite scarce. Cut the funds, you cut the number of students, which in turn will cut the number of instructor jobs in NZ.
You'll end up with MORE kiwis going to Australia to look for work.
Then they will be crying that they can't get any work either now that there are even more bad bad kiwis with their government paid CPLs taking their jobs that they worked so hard to pay for.
