DH and I had a discussion about college funds last night. I knew that Liberal rule under the Mad Monk was going to be a disaster but I honestly didn't imagine that it would be so bad that we would be sitting around like parents in the United States discussing college funds.

I'm just hoping that senate blocks supply on the education and health changes.

I really don't give a **** about anecdotes about people without tertiary education being successful because they are irrelevant. Young people should have choices. If a person wants to be a plumber that's fine but if they want to study fine arts that should be possible too. They shouldn't have to do plumbing because they can't afford to do the degree.
