Wow. I can only guess news articles like this are just the beginnings of the political circus that will be played out as availability of intern spots tightens.

Quote from the 'have your say' section underneath the article;
It's funny when some thing happens to doctors , it's all a big out rage. Foreign workers from overseas have been taking our jobs for over a decade in all areas but no one cares until it happens to the doctors. I had my job undermined by three international students ( South Korean ) my hours were reduced to 2 six hour shifts per week , because they had to do 20 hours of work experience each week. Looks like the doctors will have to deal with like every one else does

I lol'd.
Also, the fact that this system was implemented in NSW (as mentioned in the article) totally slipped beneath my radar. Yikes!

Well they didn't come up the the idea, "one of the universities" did.
