How would that work Proth?

It would apply to anyone who is a graduate.

University Tuition Fees should be funded by the state, with means tested grants for accommodation. We also ought to place minimum standards on University entry and scrap any course where graduate destinations have been to less than, say 70% of the median wage.

I was with a 26 year old med school graduate (now a junior doctor) on Plan2 yesterday who faces a working lifetime of egregious taxation, even taking into account the earnings potential she has.

I paid pretty much fuck all for my University education which opened doors I previously never knew existed. Given how the young have been utterly shafted by successive governments since the GFC the least I can do is pay a hypothecated tax towards their education.
