1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Down to the Jersey no matter answer the pub test today,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: HEX does it pass the pub Test? Was announced yesterday.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: The government is wiping an estimated three billion dollars of

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 2: student debt. What the debt on students has been quite extraordinary.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: There was a seven point one percent of the debt,

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: an increase on the debt in twenty twenty three. It's

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: now been deemed that they will cap the rate either

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: at the consumer price index or the wage price index.

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: It's disgusting when you see how many people are paying

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: off such huge amounts of money for years and years

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: into their forties for many people. And sixty percent of

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: the people who have a HEX debt are females, and

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: they're the ones that drop out of the workforce to

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: have children. You never get ahead of it. Interestingly, the

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: government consistently collects more money from student debt than it

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: does from the petroleum resource rent tax, which is a

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: tax on the extraction of gas and all resources. So

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: they are taxing our students. Said, it's such a high rate,

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: how do you feel HEXT does it pass the pub test?

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: I reckon that they should bring back free education in

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: university like GoF Whitland did because there was a whole

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: ip of people came through to got free education and

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: go with the brains of the seventies, eighties, nineties and

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: two thousands. It's just increased productivity and everyty hext is

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: a cur You want the children of our future, you

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: know that the people that are going to look after

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: them the role.

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 2: Let them be educated.

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: It's not there, I think as a country. If we

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 3: want to know better the country, education is absolutely key.

32
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: And I kind of thought last night the first time

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: in my life, I think I've ever agreed with the Greens.

34
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: Now there should be abolished. Well went through UNI for

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: you know, we're not for free but subsidized by the government.

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: These kids have got absolutely no hope of ever buying

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: a house, or of ever getting in front with the

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: mounting debt that they've got from trying to educate themselves.

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: The hex's past the countest. Like if you want to

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: buy a lolly, you buy the lolly. Don't you know

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 4: you want something, you buy it. If they don't want

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 4: to pay off their tuition, get a trade, you get

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: paid to do that. You're more useful, you're more employable,

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 4: and the country that's trading through that.

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: Get a trade. Learn to make some cement, knock up

47
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: some shelves.

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: That's sort of sad.

49
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: That's your solution for everything.

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, learn to make some mud.

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: Well, anyway, I can't even begin with you.

52
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: What do you mean if you knew how to make cement,

53
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: you'd be a better person.

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: Okay, great, I'd put your feetet and throw into the harbor.
