Well well, some sense at last. All those useless degrees, used only to gain public service jobs,[what a laugh that is], will now cost more.

In fact those really interested in "the arts" can now pay at least some of the cost to produce them.

The general public, interested in football, cricket & horse racing have been paying for too long to prop up a basically useless section of academia, for no return what so ever.

Thank god there were enough minor party people to stop Labors buying of the academic vote yet again.

ttbn :-)) your not wrong mate: more right than you realise too! Very good!

DD,

Nice to know.

What have been some of the benefits to our society by people with Arts degrees & what percentage of them thus far?

no skin off my …, as I too criticise Australia's humanities.

But to suggest that Arts degrees are useless is really pathetic and represents no understanding of how real world works or the skills that such degrees develop.

I got to meet two PMs and have dinner with a DP through my own meagre humanities efforts.

What about you critics

Great Chris, if you find value in your "meagre humanities efforts" that's fine, but tell me what value the local check out chick gets for your efforts. Then prey tell, why she should contribute to that value you may be able to find, but many of us could not.

So mate, if it is of value to you, & some other students, I suggest you & they should pay the full cost. I can not see the value to the tax payer of your meetings with 2 PMs and dinner with a DP to the tax payer who paid for the majority of your education.
