I saw our illustrious PM on the news tonight when he was asked about Hecs payments.The interviewer asked what he thought about some students having a hecs bill of $50,000.

The PM said with a smirk on his face that if they worked part time after uni they would not have to pay back any money if they earned less than $36000 per year.

So this is Howards idea of a successful career after doing a uni degree.
You work part time most probably on contract and earn less than $36,000 a year.This is his idea of a great economy.Imagine the incentive to do a uni degree over say 4 years minimum and the light at the end of the tunnel is a part time job on $36000/year.

Darth would love the idea of all QF employees being employed on a casual basis through someone like MAM especially on only $36000/year.

Did anyone else see the smirk on his face as he said this?

At this rate Donald Duck could lead the opposition into power.

Also on an aircraft website the company has advertised VH-EBT for sale so the fun begins.
