The JLN does not support these amendments, because our policy is simple: when you finish year 12 and you are prepared to go and do a degree, we believe that this country is rich enough that every student, every young child and every teenager out there should have their first degree for free. That would make for a smarter nation. But hitting them at $22,000 is not a smart move.
