Thanks, the Age, for acknowledging that the action on HECS that we’ve seen in the last 24 hrs reflects the impact of communities and their representatives rallying together for positive change.

There’s much more to do on HECS - this is just the start.

Fantastic news on HECS debts this morning.

Thank you to each and every one of the 288,004 people who signed the petition.

Leading economists, the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee, and ACOSS, all agree: in the Budget, the govt must increase Jobseeker, support payments and Commonwealth Rent Assistance to lift recipients out of poverty and restore basic standards of living.

No more.

No more.

See you at the State Library at 10am tomorrow.

So many Australians today expressing gratitude to the previous and current generations of servicemen and women - for the courage of those who serve, and the sacrifices made by those who wait for them at home.

Lest we forget.

HECS debts are set to increase by 4.8% in six weeks unless the Federal Government urgently intervenes.

A person on $60,000 with an average HECS debt will see their debt increase by $1,177, despite having paid off $1,200 over the year.

Time for urgent reform.

I’ve been talking to a number of banks in recent weeks.

We have to improve scams protections by our banks, telcos and social media platforms.

Too many people falling victim to the many really nasty scams which have been coming thick and fast in the last few months.
