When you were a student uni was free

Yes Melissa, it was free in that we did not owe HECS to be repaid down the track. But we still payed rent, bills, food etc etc. Exactly the same position most students are in today.

Before the week begins, I just want to remind MAGA that Trump is going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, who ran his close friend Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking pedophile rape ring.

Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the Epstein files that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens.
