A former government resources economist warns that rising risky home lending and a persistent budget deficit make Australia's economy vulnerable to a Chinese economic shock next year.
China is the greatest Enron story of our time.
Have a friend who is planning on emigrating to OZ and according to him, once he gets his PR, his children's education will automatically be free from primary to tertiary education. Is the OZ govt so generous? If not, what's the catch? That's like the most generous treatment towards PRs for any country.
Depends private/public, tertiary is not exactly free, but more or less interest free loans. We treat all PRs the same, except for passport, jury duty, and certain jobs.
Yeah, he was referring to public school, interest-free loans? He was under the impression that it's totally free..
What is HECS‑HELP?
The HECS‑HELP scheme is both a student loan and a student discount. Eligible students may access a HECS‑HELP loan to pay their student contribution amounts, or receive a 10% discount (known as the HECS-HELP discount) on upfront payments of $500 or more.

What is HECS‑HELP?
The HECS‑HELP scheme is both a student loan and a student discount. Eligible students may access a HECS‑HELP loan to pay their student contribution amounts, or receive a 10% discount (known as the HECS-HELP discount) on upfront payments of $500 or more.
The HECS‑HELP discount works by increasing the value of a student's upfront payment. This means that the student will actually pay less for their studies if they make an eligible upfront payment. Please refer to the example below for more information about how the HECS-HELP discount and loan can work together.
Note: The HECS‑HELP 10% discount (not the HECS-HELP loan) will be removed from 1 January 2017.
Until that date, the current arrangements still apply for units of study that have a census date on or before 31 December 2016.
