And what of lone fathers raising children. They exist, despite public policy like this proposal suggesting otherwise. Pure #misandry. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #HECS
Should have been the first action of Albanese in his first term.
Disgusting from a supposed Labor man.

Labor could stimulate the economy by forgiving all #HECS debts.
Reign in #NegativeGearing.
End funding #PrivateSchools.
End subsidising #Mining.
End #GasExports without large taxes.
Fund #TAFE education programs aimed at #Housing, #Environment & specific local council programs of need each cycle.

HECS debt is NOT a "reverse Robin Hood." It is the most intellectually lazy trope in Australian economics. I break down the core structural flaw in the analysis. 🧵👇 #HECS #AusPol #MMT
Brilliant! In particular in this era of terrible #ALP government waste in #public spending ( #consultants, #NACC, #AntiSemiticCommissioner, #AUKUS,#Housing) it is ‘working families’ paying full #tax on their #income and a #HECS debt that are being most discriminated against! #auspol #silidarity

People with HECS debts need to shut the hell up. They earn more than high school grads and don't even start paying HECS back until they reach a decent income threshold. And I say that having repaid large HECS debts.

The 20% #HECS #HELP debt reduction, has passed both houses of Parliament today.

Young #Australians say they are still facing decades of repayments for their student loans, despite #Labor introducing a bill to slash HECS debts by 20 percent

Thankfully, the government is making the rules for HECS repayments much less onerous, making them work the same way as the income tax scale and yield significant savings to those with debts. #auspol #HECS

The #western_Melbourne teacher: ‘ #HECS debt, that’s a big problem’
Ed Bryant is a new homeowner who feels broadly better off since changing careers, but worries about debt – and AI

Haha. Paul Sakkal. Tell me you’re not only privately educated but also a Liberal voter without telling me you’re a Liberal voter (and Caulfield Grammar alumnus). #HECS #Insiders
It isn't even good though,.
Look at the #RentToBuyScheme - it helps no one but the well-off.
20% off #HECS - no real savings.
Disingenuously announcing "No new coal mines" the day of mine expansions just pisses every #Labor voter off!!
Bit by bit we are creeping to a #Neoliberal hell hole.
Nah, #Labor lost me years ago. I got tired of the #VotersRemorse and regret when they prove how timid they are.
This year:
20% off #HECS - helps no-one.
#RentToBuy Scheme - helps no-one (unless you're rich).
"No new #CoalMines" on the day of mine EXPANSIONS...
Bowing to #IsraeliLobby.
etc.
Accepting that you have a #disability and cannot work full time also comes with some more hard truths. I will never own a home. I will likely never repay my #hecs. My #superannuation will not support me when I am elderly. I simply cannot attain the same milestones as my peers due to my disability.
Nice, $1000 off my HECS/HELP thanks to the changes in the indexation. Kind of bummed not to be working in Aus at the moment as I'd have paid it off this yr :(
#HECS
Cool, I had over 10k removed from my #HECS debt. Now it’s $194,500+. Love that for me.

Chapman has only the one product to sell. In the Noughties he suggested using a HECSesque model for the payment of fines. Since fines are usually intended to punish, he was either arguing those with the means should get off relatively lightly, or that #HECS is millstone around the necks of the poor.
My oped in Times Higher Education today: The Australian student loan HECS debt write-off is regressive and unfair to taxpayers
#academicsky #highered #hecs #auspolicy #university #studentloans #aushighered
Yes, yes very kind
*tugs forelock*
Now fix the disparity in #HECS fees between degrees from different disciplines. That would help a great many now & into the future.
OR
Abolish HECS, make tertiary education free again.
What a splendid thing that would be & yes, we know it won't happen.
#auspol
but they can't afford to cut #HECS...
