Yes it was a poor choice of words in the heat of the moment.
My apologies to all.
10 billion is just the amount they exceeded in their forecast.
I'm not sure what the total was, but 18% to 25% is not expected to be repaid.
How much is that every year?
Yet those same people want to close streets and power generation down.
I say we should not spend a cent on the ones who don't complete their studies and become a benefit to the nation for the nations investment.
We'd be better off spending the money on new ideas for clean energy creation to shut the big-mouthed little upstarts up than to flush it down the toilet.
We've already taken money from a clean energy fund to spend dealing with waste instead.
I'm not necessarily opposed to their protesting;
- But if you're not a voter go home -
I suppose I'm opposed to them doing it on the back of government funding.
Pay for their course, pay for them to keep a roof over their head and food on their table while studying and how do they repay us, stop the workers who do pay tax from getting to work and shut down energy making all businesses and citizens in this country less able to make ends meet.
