I have written to the Education Minister Jason Clare about this issue and the unequity that HELP debts can have on those who have caring duties and have to leave the workforce or work part-time and the with disabilities who may not have full-time employment. The debt is escalating for those who don't reach the threshold . I also shared my concerns with the Greens Senator with Education portfolio Mehreen Faruqi. Mr. Clare forwarded my message onto someone responsible for this matter who did reply and Mehreen also replied. Let's hope something can be dubbed to resolve this situation of people in compounding spiralling debt.
No one should be shackled with a debt sentence just in order to study.
