The idiocracy continues! so students can get on with their studies unmolested by the Socialist Alternative, which seem quite intent on shutting down democracy in Australia. Protesting is vital to democratic expression. I guess – in a nirvana paradise kind of world – no students would have to pay for their university degrees, thered be free housing for everyone, free health for everyone, free schooling for everyone, but unfortunately there isnt that paradise on earth anywhere,” Well that paradise sounds awfully like Australia pre-1980. When there were 15% less taxpayers per dependent! macrobusiness.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Workers-per-dependent.gif Pyne said students were currently contributing only about 40% towards the cost of their degrees despite earning 75% more on average and deriving a massive personal benefit from attending university. Well if were operating purely on a logic of cost basis, why bother with any public schooling? Its not like having a large, literate and educated workforce has ever done anything for us. Why should children get a massive personal benefit from learning to read and write or socialise outside of a coal mine shaft? Meanwhile our neighbours in Asia are undergoing massive public investment in universities to lift skill levels of their workforce. Were not a socialist country so we dont only have public contributions,” Pyne said. We have been a socialist capitalist country for decades, you ignoramus. Hell, even when it comes to the business sector there are socialist policies - fuel subsidies for the mining industry, government guarantees for the banks to lower their borrowing costs, drought assistance for farmers. The list goes on.
