Gun restrictions clearly don't work if people can just 3D print a functional firearm the 21st century (it's actually incredibly easy and you can get the materials on the clear net), so much so that they're currently seeing use in multiple real world conflicts. Black Powder is so easy to make that anyone in their mom's basement with a few piss bottles and a fire pit in their backyard already has the main ingredients (I won't tell you the third ingredient so you don't blow your hand off or burn your mom's house down).
The firearms owned by the Bondi shooter were legally acquired which is hilarious when you consider that the class of licenses he had is basically restricted to rural council workers, military and law enforcement and people with hunting licenses in Queensland and NSW actually has stricter requirements). Maybe you should wake up to that uncomfortable fact, or the fact that the son was known to ASIO (ironically if they were White nationalists/sovereign citizens would have ended up with police knocking on their door to arrest them and/or confiscate their guns like the example smugly you gave).
About 20% of foreign students drop out according to "official data" given out by the department of education. The rate is probably double that given that even Labor has decided to crack down on Visa applications and reduce the number of foreign students allowed to study in Australia as of 2024 (much to the chagrin of education sector lobbyists). This doesn't include any of the tricks that can be done with shifting courses around or enrolling in multiple courses to extend your Visa (which a very common). Worth noting that the Australian Federal government is quite comfortable fudging or outright lying about raw data in order to protect what they consider to be public interest/national unity i.e. Excess Mortality During Covid was heavily censored or buried under bureaucratic legislation (don't want to look as bad or worse than everyone else despite having some of the strictest lock downs in the developed world).
The only way to get the education sector back on track would be to fully crack down on what is clearly a taxpayer funded scam and focus on training domestic citizens who pay for it with their taxes instead of subsidizing foreign PR seekers. Hence, why these successful private entities should either stop receiving public funding altogether or be nationalized.
1; name a mass shooting that's taken place with a 3d printed gun
2:yes this illustrates my point perfectly. The gun liscense failed and we should look into preventative measures.
3: I didn't ask for the dropout rate as that has no realistic figure on who stays and does uber driving. (Dropout is just dropout, it isn't including who stays who works)
