Let’s stop degrees from costing a mortgage
Neville —
One of the most vicious and spiteful parts of Tony Abbott’s agenda is the plan to deregulate the university sector. This plan–driven by his attack-dog Christopher Pyne—will see massive rises in universities fees and laden students with a lifetime of debt, locking many young people out of the university system. These “reforms” aren’t just bad, they are horrible. The National Tertiary Education Union have been fighting one heck of a campaign to stop these changes – and they are so close to winning. That’s why the NTEU is teaming up with the National Union of Students and online campaigning organisation Getup! for a big advertising push to get the campaign over the line and ruin Christopher Pyne’s dreams of bringing American-style student debt to Australia. Together they have made an ad that highlights just how terrible these changes will be. The whole community–not just students and university staff–are chipping in to get the ad on air and stop these horrible reforms. Let’s help them make a difference.

A clear majority of the public–63% in recent polling–oppose Pynes plans for American-style student debt. It is less popular than the Medicare co-payment, increasing the pension age and cutting funding to the ABC. In fact, according to the polls, these changes are more than twice as unpopular as Tony Abbott himself – and that says a lot. Australians are right about this. We should work on making the future brighter for young people and not saddle them with a lifetime of debt for $100k degrees. Degrees shouldn’t cost a mortgage. People get that. Click here to stand with members of the NTEU, NUS and Getup!–and the vast majority of Australians–and help get this ad on the air: https://actuonline.nationbuilder.com/auction_ad_fundraiser The Government’s harsh budget strategy is in disarray. It was always headed that way – Australians are much smarter than Tony Abbott gives us credit for. We are always willing to stand up for the things that matter – and quality, affordable tertiary education matters. Let’s push this campaign over the line and stop Tony Abbott’s plans to wrap students up in a lifetime of debt. In union – Ged K and the Australian Unions team |
