The November award for hope goes to Catriona Jackson from Universities Australia who calls on the House of Representatives to stop the government slugging universities for admin costs of the student loan scheme. Improving receipts means the government does not need the money. The legislation is scheduled for the Reps today and it could get knocked off – the government does not have the numbers (morning Dr Phelps). But it won’t – Labor senators have signalled that they will let the bills through the Senate and members will do the same.
