Has the government acknowledged the risk of increasing HECS/HELP debt by forcing students to borrow more? Unpaid/unrecoverable HECS debts were supposedly at over 6 billion in 2013, and growing at ~1 billion a year back then.

(I'm someone who worked part time so I could pay my fees up front and get a 20% discount, back when HECS fees were something you could conceivably earn part time while living independently. gently caress I feel sorry for kids starting uni now, they're paying much more for a shittier education)

They had to do with 1) hurricanes knocking out the transmission lines, and 2) AEMO failing to turn on enough generators.

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.

Certain parts of the construction industry aren't going to like that.
