Seems like a shame to have not changed every instance of his name to 'Sucker MC' while they were at it.

The Grattan Institute’s Andrew Norton, who was on a ministerial working party advising Senator Birmingham on implementation of his reforms, said: “Students haven’t really taken any cuts in recent years. Most students have not contributed anything to budget repair.”

I love (do not love) this idea that 'students' are like a class of people; like being a student is not, in fact, an activity, a period of one's life that Australians from all cultural, economic, and professional classes have gone through. And that the whole point of it isn't that you're supposed to spend your whole time studying so that you can earn money in the future which is why no-one expects students to have money to "contribute to budget repair," whatever the gently caress that means. And that being a student isn't supposed to happen BEFORE your career so of course you don't have any money yet to "invest" in an education. And and and etc. etc.

I mean these people understand all this, they're just liars and scumbags and don't care so what's the point.
