We just don't have the money to pay doctors and nurses what Australia pays them. Our best bet is to get some deal where they agree to work here for some years after they graduate in exchange for the education.
You'd think people would have some degree of loyalty to their own country but apparently not. The almighty buck rules and they are happy to take the training they got and go make the big buck overseas while they watch the country struggle.
