Employment rates need to be looked at with a view as to the content of the Degree, is it a real one or some sort of "... Studies". Those with "Basket Weaver Degrees" can't expect to get a job and hence should not be counted (there actually is an old Basket Weaver's shop in Newtown they could form a co-operative in?).

Typical fumblings with numbers to try to invent a point, but then the writer is not a climate-scientist.

has anyone ever asked where this figure of $100000 comes from. Is it from the professional students that take 10 years to get a degree or is it just another lie made up by Amanda and her party?

I also wonder where the figure $100,000 comes from. According to the Universities that's not correct and competition will keep the prices within reason. But even if it was true, they would only be $50,000 degrees because the poor taxpayer pays half.

"Our graduates are finding it increasingly difficult to find employment once completing their studies."

The reason for that might be a bad choice of which course should be studied. Too many students have insufficient intellect to pursue the difficult courses where employment is more likely to be guaranteed. In many cases, vocational training at a TAFE might be more appropriate and the outcome more satisfying.

I doubt that the "Mickey Mouse" degrees cost anywhere near the $100,000 so often quoted by the left. Probably less than half of that would be my guess.

Those without money don't count the other people's money that goes toward their education.

Not that I'm a fan, but I do like this quote:

The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." -- Margaret Thatcher

Pure politicing, this. Leave it for the hustings.

80% of the people at universities are wasting their time and taxpayers' money.
