An Anglicare Australia and National Union of Students Survey says that 50 per cent of students struggle with rent and 90% struggle to buy textbooks. They argue that students need a better deal. Senator Leyonhjelm argues that student living has never been easy. He’s not convinced it’s been any less difficult. Additionally, he argues that students do, in fact have it pretty good — because they don’t have to pay for their courses up front. They also end up earning a lot more money once they graduate than people who don’t attend university. So do they want more taxpayer money? That money will be coming from people who don’t go to university.
