In reality what's been created is industrial scale hubris.

Australian schools do not offer a high enough education standard for Australia to compete with the rest of the 1st world.

To make it harder for Australians to obtain further education is to allow Australia to slip behind.

Australia has already lost the ability to compete at a manufacturing level, are we to fall behind as a technical one as well.

Sure further education isn’t for everyone but for those that have natural ability or a driven desire, education should be easily accessible.

Not just for those with deep pockets.

Universities supply many more degrees than Doctors and Lawyers, they produce professional managers, business people, scientists, mathematicians, skilled engineers of all vocations and the list goes on and on and on.

I can’t even fathom why anyone would want to disadvantage a big part of the population and put Australia’s knowledge base at risk.


The prerequisite for many positions is Tertiary education and there is a good reason for that, employers want to compete with the best they can get.

Without it they are also rans.

Think about that on the world stage.
