If as reported by Independantaustralia.net :
“Inflation declined again in April to 2.34%, making three consecutive monthly falls and nine months within the Reserve Bank’s optimum band between 2% and 3%. That’s the best run since monthly records have been kept.

Core inflation was 2.8%, within the optimum band for the fifth consecutive month. Interest rates were cut again in May to 3.85%, with further reductions likely soon.”

WHY then, pray tell, has my #HELP debt increased by 3.2% in on 01Jun25?
Is #StudentDebt meant to turn a #Proffit ?

WTF? I can’t wait to find out what seemingly arbitrary #CPI increase my #pension will deserve this new financial year.

#StudentDebt

If you don't even talk about principal vs. interest, you shouldn't be talking about whether the "loan" still needs to be paid back. If you don't know what the interest rate is, you don't know if a loan is predatory.

But hey.

Degrees Don't Equal Success - Mike Rowe on Theo Von

#studentdebt #jobmarket #college

"We just got wind of Republicans' higher education bill text for reconciliation. We skimmed it. It's the most dangerous Higher-Ed bill in history.

It strips the Dept of Ed of virtually every authority to CXL student debt. Eliminates every repayment program. Abolishes subsidized loans."
-Debt Collective

"The judge compared the administration’s dismantling of the agency to when his kids ‘would throw a party at the house.'"
