Thats it, that's their life now.

Yeah he absolutely cannot be trusted beyond MMA commentary, and even then he's suspicious. He's like the opposite of deplatforming, I guess superplatforming. He'll host 'anyone' uncritically, but it turns out he mostly wants to host the very right wing with zero pushback, who would have thought.

HELP is just the renamed HECS yeah?

"Is that an accurate quote? It should be.
I think about it often enough."
HECS has been HELP since 2005


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertiary_education_fees_in_Australia posted:

From 2007, HECS places became known as Commonwealth supported places (CSP). A student in a CSP was only entitled to study for a maximum of 7 years full-time (16 years part-time) at CSP rates. This was known as a student learning entitlement (SLE). After that period the student had to take either a post-graduate FEE-HELP loan (if available) or study at full-fee rates. SLE was abolished from 1 January 2012.

The HECS debt became a pre-2005 debt, while a post-2005 debt is called HECS-HELP, which operates on the same principles as HECS. If a student receives a HECS-HELP loan, the Commonwealth government pays the loan amount directly to the higher education provider on behalf of the student.

An alternative option is FEE-HELP (formerly PELS) which provides eligible fee-paying students with a loan to cover their postgraduate fees. This option is only available for post-graduate students attempting an eligible post-graduate course. In 2012, the FEE-HELP lifelong limit was $89,706, and $112,134 for students studying dentistry, medicine or veterinary science.[8]

Nah. There were aboriginal people at XR in Sydney on the Monday at least, the first speaker was aboriginal. There were also asians including Danny Lim and islanders like this guy. Writing it off as privileged whitey is just culture war bullshit. But you are probably just joking because that's your go-to when you're wrong.

I'm not wrong. XR is seen as whitey strikes back and the last time a white protester was killed was beyond living memory. You think it won't take a white person dying for this thread's much loved fantasy league socialist hellwar to kick off lol

I think this might be referring to charging universities administrative fees for the dept of ed to administer help loans. It was flagged at their big conference in Canberra the other month.
