Maharey fails students again after years of promises
The latest student support review offers no new solutions from the Government, and is a huge disappointment for students who have been waiting years for the report.
"They have waited four years for this and it offers no solutions and nothing that we didn't already know. It is absolute puffery, all words and no action and students can see through that.
"Students have been promised so much from this review for so long but this report takes us no where to addressing the student loan problem.
"What this report does show is that Tertiary Education Minister Steve Maharey simply can't make the hard decisions," Mr Power said.
