Donald Trump's America has had a complete turn around. Morrison's/Turnbull's Australia is in a nose dive.

ttbn, I thought Corny Banana was your 'Great White Hope', you were singing his praises not that long ago. Oh well! I hope he gave you your money back. We haven't got a Donald Trump, not even a Donald Duck, but what we do have is 'The Mad Katter', I don't often agree with Bob, but he's always good value. We live in hope!

No. Your wrong. Matt Barry is actually highly productive and useful, and Is well placed to recognise the penalties of educational inefficiency, inside his enterprise.
After all, his is an enterprise built on an efficiency designed to match entrepreneurial freelance workers with job offers.

He works in a global market, which matches the ideology of globalism. Globalism of course, as you would be aware, is what the principle economy of the west rests upon.

So what he sees from his stand-point, is an Australian educational outcome defunct in global productive usefulness.

>Is it Cloward and Piven, or total incompetence?
No, it's a sensible investment in the future of our country.

And to even think it could be Cloward and Piven is evidence of total incompetence on your part, as it's already federally funded.

Paul1405,
I know there are a lot of whingers on this site telling people to get jobs that aren't there, but I didn't think you'd be one of them!

Freelancer is a market, matching producers with consumers. Just because they're not themselves producers doesn't mean they contribute nothing. Your rant is as stupid as those libertarian ideologues claiming governments contribute nothing of value.

AC,

"So we had a 10 billion dollar blow-out in a single year to serve the interests of the little assholes out protesting trying to shut our power plants down."

A neat sight of hand, the whole $10 billion attributed to the "little asshole" group you don't agree with, or like. Maybe they have a legitimate reason to protest, but that's another story.

Hey Aiden,
"No, it's a sensible investment in the future of our country."

I have to disagree, but I'm willing to meet you halfway.

If taxpayers drop 50K on a individual students studies, then 'sensible investment' only applies if a person firstly completes their studies and gains the academic qualification, and secondly after they start working in that chosen field and both begin repaying that money and pay a tax component to the Australian government.

If those things don't happen, repay the loan and pay tax in Australia;
- Then I'm not sure how you can consider it an investment or an asset.

Until those 2 things happen, it's a liability and a loss, not an investment or an asset.

There's many reasons why a person might not finish their studies, and there's no guarantee that the person will even work in this country upon completion of their studies.
