* Approximate Order of Magnitude Estimates: International student fees account for approximately 25–27% of total Australian university revenue. In 2024, this equated to A$12.33 billion out of A$45.17 billion in gross revenue across 42 universities. The vast majority of these international students come from Asia (particularly China, India, Nepal, Vietnam, and other nearby countries), which consistently represent over 90% of international enrolments in higher education. Sources indicate most are from Asian countries, with top sources alone (China ~23%, India ~17%, Nepal ~8%, etc.) comprising well over half, and historical figures showing ~80–90% from Asia overall.

Porridge is a dish made by boiling grains, legumes, or starchy plants like oats, rice, cornmeal, or barley in water or milk until it reaches a soft, thick, and creamy consistency. It’s often eaten as a breakfast food and can be sweetened with sugar, honey, or fruit, or flavored with spices and other ingredients.

Common examples include oatmeal, rice porridge (like congee), and millet porridge. The specific ingredients and preparation vary widely across cultures and regions.

Not to be confused with grits; a specific type of porridge made from corn, with a distinct texture and cultural role, while porridge is a broader category encompassing many grains and preparations.

Twixmas

“It’s a weird time isn’t it – you barely know the date, or the time of day, let alone which part of the Christmas dinner leftovers to eat next. It’s a time when many of us return to the reality of home life, where we know that family can be the best thing about Christmas, but they can also be the worst things about Christmas. A time when we can feel guilty for not working on uni assignments despite the need for a restful break.”
