If you die with a #hecs debt does that mean the government can claim the estate? People are retiring with #HECS debt thanks to both #labor and the #coalition.
As I have said before my vote will never get near either major party. They will have to get preferences from the rest of you.

I’ve recenlty made a repayment (from savings) to the ATO against my #StudentDebt.
About 10 years ago, I got it into my head to go back to UNI. I worked for 2 years on a Master of Translation (Adv) at ANU, and I enjoyed every minute of it only to come unstuck at the very end. With less than a semester of work to do I hit a wall. Well several walls in fact.
The first was that I ran out of courses to study within the School and didn’t want to undertake something I wasn’t interested in.
The Second was finding out that my thesis could not be the translation and publication of a book I wanted to do, it had to be something which would advance translation research to qualify. I did find another way to do that and my idea was to research whether “Livres de Gares” (aka airport novels) were purposely written for translation and whether these had similar linguistic characteristics which could be computationally determined.
My Supervisor and I thought it would be a good project and I genuinely felt enthused about it. That is until I dug deeper into it. It required me to fork off into Digital humanities to obtain expertise in linguistic computation; coding, scripting, parsing and tagging text as well as applied statistics. The more I looked into it, the more the whole thing looked like a multidisciplinary project. I was defeated (allowed myself to be defeated?) by the amount of work and more importantly, the cost in terms of stress and finance. I couldn’t afford either.
I’ve just had a look at my #HECS-HELP statement… only $35,000 or so to go…

Dear Australian government,
I would really like you to send me a letter telling me that you are completely wiping my HECS debt.
Failing that, I would like you to send me a letter telling me that you are reducing my HECS debt by 20%.
Thanks.

The study loan (#HECS) repayment changes are now law. Here's how to calculate your repayment using the #Haskell *tax* library:
```
help = lesserOf ((flat 0.1) (marginal [(67000, 0.15),(125000,0.02)])
due = min helpBalance (getTax help repaymentIncome)

And so, since a LABOR government won't do it then who will? Oh, that's right: the GREENS! That's why we have preferential voting. Vote accordingly.
