Back in November, before the federal election, the Labor government promised to cut student loans and HECS-HELP debt by a further 20 per cent. For the thousands of young Australians struggling with the rising cost of living, it was a pretty tantalising offer. And, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese elected for a second term, those of us with student debt were stoked knowing that a little bit of help was on the way. Well, as long as these promises were fulfilled.
