The article is actually criticising the government if anything by pointing out how much net debt has grown under the LNP compared to Labor

Last time I was at Canberra airport Kevin Rudd was coming through security just after us and got "randomly" picked for a full pat-down and bag search.

Tanya Plibersek is calling the "new" Federal education funding a 22bn cut, and merely "taking out the trash" for the Budget. The head of the Fed Education Union is mad too.

MysticalMachineGun posted:I'm wondering if after the 2014 budget not getting anything through if Unis aren't too worried about this one. Our VC is still using the prospect of zombie cuts from 2014 that will _NEVER_ pass the senate to justify a lowball pay claim, understaffing, basically anything else she doesn't want to spend money on. I think you'll find this tactic repeated across the sector, given most of them rip their plays straight out of the AHEIA book these days.

You're trying your best to take that out of context but looking at the thread it was pretty obviously a joke.

Do tertiary education changes need to pass the Senate or can they be ~implemented via regulation~? I'm looking to go back to uni later this year and I'm feeling a little nervous

Also FYI it is STILL not worth paying off HECS ahead of schedule as long as they still aren't indexing it above inflation

That's something at least (lol putting faith in Xenophon). The extra payments on my existing debt would bite hard enough without adding in the extra course costs. I'd probably still take the second degree either way since it's kind of necessary for my career (hard to get anywhere without postgrad these days) but yeah.

Recoome posted:My VC was actually very supportive of students. I feel like uni students in the Group 8 unis are hosed though I once did enrolment hand-holding at a G8 uni. A good third of the freshers didn't even have tax file numbers, and their parents just paid the fees up front. The demographics probably haven't changed much since then.

The demographics probably haven't changed much since then. Cripes, I've only just finished clearing my HECs debt from my degree and I'm thinking of retraining. I hope PHON and NXT don't cave (but I am pretty sure the LNP will offer them a bullshit carrot that they never intend to follow through on and they will)

The four year jail deal requires that you rat on a cartel. Seems like a pretty bad deal imo.

Zenithe posted:They are if your salary isn't indexed They still aren't. Better off putting that money into even a TD, let alone some sort of index fund, than paying off less than 2% interest debt. It is almost impossible to invest money and make less than HECS indexation.

So ScoMo is going to cut the Education Budget at the same time as 25 unnamed (incredibly rich) schools are going on THE HIT LIST that the Liberals were so so very concerned about last time. I have to wonder whose electorate those 25 schools are in, and what they are getting under the table to not make a fuss about it.
