Good news re HECS indexation. But the issue of the size of the debt remains. The cost of university degrees remains based on Scott Morrison’s policy. That needs to change. #Insiders
As @GrogsGamut has shown, action on HECS is much needed. In 2005-06 the avg HECS debt for people in their 20s was $12,557. Inflation since then has risen 57%, but the avge debt has gone up 145%. #auspol #insiders #budget2024 Read now: australiainstitute.org.au/post/people-ar…
