Senator Ricky Muir remains open to deregulating university fees after call from Tony Abbott's office
The ABC has sought the thought process of Ricky Muir on deregulating university fees after a call from Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s office.
The sad part about this story is Ricky Muir is flat out stringing a sentence together and he’s making decisions on education.
Muir is still worried about the illegal boat people being held in detention in Darwin, another person who is happy to have illegal boat people walking around in our community, what a pity these elected officials don’t have the brains to listen to what the Australian public want.
The Victorian Motoring Enthusiasts Party senator last year helped vote down the Government's first attempt at changing the way universities are funded

Hate to burst your bubble but this.......
"It has been reported today that I remain open to deregulating universities. I want to make it clear that I remain open to listening to all proposals for reform which is why I will be attending a forum on higher education in rural and regional areas next week.
I remain deeply concerned about the impact deregulation will have on university fees. As I have previously stated, I will continue to consult with the Government, the university sector and student union groups on this critical issue."
Not sure that that what he says has been made clear. He is open to listening, not necessarily open to deregulation.
