STUDENTS with HECS debts who move overseas should pay at least $2000 a year off their bills, the architect of the scheme says, arguing that if they can afford to go to Europe, they can afford to pay off what they owe taxpayers.

 

Bruce Chapman, a professor at the Australian National University, said such a reform would be fair, feasible and could save the budget more than $50 million a year.

 

As the government begins to prepare its second budget, Mr Chapman told The Australian that university graduates leaving Australia for more than six months should be made to undertake to repay at least $2000 a year of their outstanding student loan debt.

Hot air.  The Aust Govt can't access Australians with student loans living overseas wages/tax paid, until they do something like have an agreement with each country then zip will be done.

icy - where did that assumption come from that you posted '' some grads choose marriage and having children instead of employment? (straight after graduating according to your earlier post)

Was it your thought? Either your or someone elses - either way - do you seriously believe that happens?
