The Abbott government's budget proposes:
-unlimited fee increases
-massive increases to HECS interest for students past, present and future
-the immediate abolishing of start up scholarships
-savage changes to new start and youth allowance:earn or learn or starve and suffer
-and heaps more
This is a US model for education. Its about creating a system that only benefits the rich and that cripples the rest of us.
Students have been taking a strong stand against this budget. Our protests have been angry and big and have received national media attention. As a result all the opposition parties say they will block these attacks in the senate.

The planned merger between SCA and UNSW Art and Design fell over last week in an embarrassing backflip by the University of Sydney, but management still plan to close SCA's Callan Park campus and have already slashed the Bachelor of Visual Arts from the 2017 academic calendar.
The NTEU is calling on University management to Let SCA Stay and to engage in a genuine, good faith collaborative process to secure its future. This must include an immediate reinstatement of enrolments in the Bachelor of Visual Arts for 2017, and a commitment to staff and incoming students that the University will honour its stated commitment to excellence in visual arts education.
The NTEU has organised a rally on main campus at 1pm on August 17. Come along to hear more about the dispute from those involved, and show your solidarity with SCA staff and students.
NTEU members are asked to encourage students to attend the rally. The NTEU supports the student strike and asks members to not penalise students supporting the campaign.
Join us at the rally — Let SCA - Wednesday 17 August, 1pm–2pm, Madsen Building
