Hi Maracas,

I'm sure that that would be up to them :)

Maracas,

"Exemption from payment of HECS debt" ?? I don't think this is the case for Indigenous students, any more than it is for anybody else !

The majority of Indigenous people are exempt from a HECs debt simply by the fact that they will never complete or access higher education study.

Hi Rainier,

1. Anybody enrolling in a university course, Black or White, incurs a HECS debt, regardless of whether or not they complete it. Enrolment, not completion.

2. Indigenous people are accessing university study at about 80 % of the rate of other Australians. If they enrol, they incur HECS debts like anybody else. Check it out: go to an Indigenous student centre on any campus and ask around.
