"When you go to Vodafone to have a plan, they ask you (for) an address. You don't have an address. When you go to rent a property, they ask you for rent history, but you don't have any. They ask you for payslip, you don't have any job. You apply for jobs, but they won't give you any job because you don't have local experience, you don't have the local degree."

 

O le suesuega na taitaia e Professor Andrew Markus o Monash Univeristy ma na ia ta'ua ua iloa ai i le lipoti lenei le tele o faafitauli e feagai ma tagata e ulufale mai i ituaiga Visa eseese, ae maise lava i le taimi faatoa taunuu mai.
