I guess we would rather look after the top 1% cods and stuff the rest.

If you think Labor are the working man's saviour you need to think again.

If you think Labor are the working man's saviour you need to think again.

If you think the Tories are the working man's saviour, you need to think again.

The ALP cares more about the working class than the Tories ever will. The Tories are there for the Big End of Town and no one else. Their attitude is that workers are there to serve them and their constituents and nothing else.

It didn't last because no one supported it, Cods. Not even in the ALP which was by then run by economic realists. Whitlam's policy was based on the hard life that most Australian workers had to endure to see their kids educated. It wasn't necessary though. Australia was a rich enough country to educate it's young. In the end, the higher taxes they would pay, after graduating, would pay for the education. However, pointing that out, wasn't popular with people like yourself, hey? You'd rather see people pay twice for their education - through HECS and through taxation.

University education is what made me what I am today - successful and well paid. Without it, I'd be in a factory or somewhere similar, slaving for you and yours, hey, Cods?

you got your FREE education at the expense of someone else... thats what you fail to understand......someone else paid for your education not Whitlam... and everyman and his dog went to Uni.l...they came from everywhere....


getting a degree in pottery did nothing for this country......


and if you think anything for FREE is not taken for granted and trampled on by the greedy ........ then your crazy...


going to Uni is a privilege not a right... you should have earnt that right by getting the marks to get in.....yes I agree the cost is high today...maybe it should be halved when they pass with decent marks... there are an awful lot of drop outs.....which cost money and waste peoples time...

my family are doing alright thank you without Uni....I admit I always hoped one of the grandkids would go there....but this far its not to be....my 14 yr old grandson is my latest hope...and it is something he wants to do....my daughter is looking at another Embassy posting where she will be 1st secretary....one down from the Ambassador...many times she has stood in for the Ambassador when he has been unavailable.......I dont think thats doing bad at all....... me I wasnt encouraged to better myself....so yes you can look down your nose at me..

Not quite. Actually, the mix of students remained fairly steady with the upper and middle-classes predominating. What it did was open the Tertiary system up to the working class - if they wanted to attend. I was unusual, I was working class, serving in the Army. I wasn't popular at Flinders Uni which was where I attended. Flinders had a reputation as being a "radical university." Not sure why 'cause it was pretty vanilla as far as I was concerned.

You're thinking of the US, Cods, not Australia. There were no degrees in pottery offered downunder. In the US though...

and if you think anything for FREE is not taken for granted and trampled on by the greedy ........ then your crazy...

Well, I am not greedy, and I didn't take my free education for granted. So I don't fit your stereotype, Cods. You, OTOH...

going to Uni is a privilege not a right... you should have earnt that right by getting the marks to get in.....yes I agree the cost is high today...maybe it should be halved when they pass with decent marks... there are an awful lot of drop outs.....which cost money and waste peoples time...

You've just contradicted yourself, Cods. Care to have another go?

my family are doing alright thank you without Uni....I admit I always hoped one of the grandkids would go there....but this far its not to be....my 14 yr old grandson is my latest hope...and it is something he wants to do....my daughter is looking at another Embassy posting where she will be 1st secretary....one down from the Ambassador...many times she has stood in for the Ambassador when he has been unavailable.......I dont think thats doing bad at all....... me I wasnt encouraged to better myself....so yes you can look down your nose at me..

I somehow doubt that your daughter could be a member of DFAT without a degree, Cods...

Your family would be much better off if all your kids and grandkids went to Uni. Much better off.

Most people are probably socialists until they pay their own taxes.
