The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has suggested the government is looking to reduce the rate of student debt indexation in response to debts growing by more than 4% this year...
Monique Ryan, an independent MP has collected more than 260,000 signatures on a petition calling for that reform, citing instances of students whose loans are growing faster than they are making repayments.
She’s among a coalition of crossbenchers, including independents Zoe Daniel, David Pocock, Allegra Spender and Kylea Tink, that have backed reforms. On Thursday, Pocock posted to X that the accord “couldn’t be clearer”, adding the burden of student indexation needed to be fixed before 1 June. #auspol#education
