Not sure what happened here. However, I was told that awhile back, that several Australians have come to the US under the "buy a visa" program for those investing in the US (the pay for visa program is the one the Kushner's were offering Chinese investors in their New Jersey project). A few of those Australians appear to be residing in Hawaii. This has angered some middle class polynesians from Australia who sought visas to enter the US but could not afford the big bucks cost. I guess Australian collegiate athletes at UH are able to get visas.
