They are not interested in study or the qualification.
They just do the bare minimum required study.
Rooter is right here. Most Asian WLs are not studying in universities but in English taught or business colleges. Many are told by their migration agents what courses they should do to get into Australia. They are not really here to obtain qualifications. They are here to make money which can be sent home (especially for Thais) or to buy expensive items without anyone at home in their homeland suspecting that they are working as a WL and living well.

I recall one Asian girl stating to me how she was working very hard in a restaurant and earning in the vicinity of $16 per hour. Her friend was a WL and was able to afford many luxuries and sent large sums of money to her Mum. The Mum was under the false impression that everyone got paid a lot in Australia and her daughter was working as a waitress. Her Mum and the WL's Mum were best friends. They would talk about their daughters. My friend mentioned how her Mum would criticise her for not being a good daughter because she didn't send enough money to her family. Unfortunately, she didn't know the other girl was working as a WL.

Another reason why many girls come to Australia is in the hope of getting permanent residence and because they like our lifestyle of living.
