WTF......
Graduates will have to pay two per cent more from their pay packets toward their student loans, while student allowances will be restricted, under government moves to cut billions of dollars in outstanding student debt.
Tertiary Education Minister Steven Joyce announced the changes on Thursday, ahead of the May 24 budget.
Currently, the loan repayment rate is set at 10 per cent on income over $19,084.
That will increase to 12 per cent from next year, while the government is "looking very closely" at scrapping bonuses for graduates who make voluntary repayments over and above the repayment threshold.
A fantastic move! Interest free student loan should never have happend. Bloody Labour's bribing trick. If the country simply can not afford it, we should get rid of it, for everyone's sake!作者: 我的小小马甲 时间: 2012-5-3 16:24:04
