    Would you trade your HECS debt for a volunteer Youth Corps?

    Consider also that merely replacing the amount of HECS someone would pay per hour in their normal job isn't going to cut it, because in that job they also receive an immediate wage after HECS is deducted.

    F**k off were full

    The clear answer is that you shouldn't be eligible for welfare until x years after moving to Australia. If you come here, you come here to be productive.

    Oh don't get me wrong, DFEE places are amazing and Rudd's removal of them had zero utilitarian basis. It's 'unfair' that somebody can pay their way into university, despite the fact that DFEE's existence benefits EVERYONE. :spzz:

    Under Whitlam there are X university places. Hawke comes in and turns these into HECS places. We then have X HECS places. Howard then brings in Y DFEE places to supplement the X HECS places. There is no extra financial pressure and to claim so is intellectual dishonest, because there's still...

    Alternatives to this: 1. Pay others more in wages than you're giving HECS kids in discounts. 2. Old people starve.

    Would you trade your HECS debt for a volunteer Youth Corps?

    No it's not. The fact that only the "rich" can access a scheme (a dubious argument in itself) is no reason to oppose it when on the whole the community takes more out of it than the volunteers anyway.

    Would you trade your HECS debt for a volunteer Youth Corps?

    Under the Whitlam government you wouldn't be in your course. DFEE places were created in addition to existing HECS places (whose numbers remained consistent) to give the option for those who fell short of their course cutoff. HECS is, if anything, too generous. You get an interest free loan...

    By charging (unaffordable) affiliation fees of upwards of $100,000 for campuses which send delegates likely to vote against the current administration, thus guaranteeing these campuses can't afford to vote and pose no threat to their $30,000 pay packets.

    Would you trade your HECS debt for a volunteer Youth Corps?

    There shouldn't be any doubt that the amount the government will reduce your HECS by will be far less than the amount you'd earn per hour applying your skills elsewhere, otherwise it would be far more cost effective for them just to hire unskilled workers and pay them upfront to do the work. The...

    Dude on the minimum wage they don't take anything. It doesn't kick in until you earn over 40 something K. Yet more fodder for retarded trots "PEOPLE WILL GO TO THEIR GRAVES WITHOUT PAYING OFF THEIR HEC DEBT :( :( :( :spzz:"

    Also the fact that the average person takes 7 years to pay it off reflects just how tiny an amount they actually garnish.
