Top OP, looking forward to losing my job when the Uni cuts come through

Same here, gotta love the idiotic view the government has "Well Universities have been making profits". Yeah well they have, to cover shortfalls in funding that Howard, Gillard and now Turnbull are bringing in.

Please explain this to me.

As in, is this meaningful or just like "look at Simon in university" or whatever?

Simon Birmingham is the Federal Minister for Education who is pretty well back tracking on his student union values.

Gillard was more than happy to rip money out of higher education to pay for Gonski.

After Rudd did his best to clean up the mess that Howard and Costello did to the sector.

Federal election hangs on QLD. The ALP needs a minor swing there to win government. I think a swing of 2 percent causes a gently caress load of blue seat to tumble down. Next election will have a crazy amount of pandering for Queensland.
