Another example of the deep deep trouble our nation is in. This is Labor’s 21 year-old Senator Charlotte Walker, screaming in excitement that she’s getting 20% off her HECS debt. So here’s Charlotte who will receive (from taxpayers) around $1.5 million +$225,000 in super, plus several million for staff, a new car and expenses over the next 6 years - celebrating that 20% of her HECS debt is being TRANSFERRED to other Australians. It’s absolutely offensive. But worse, it‘s being reported that she doesn’t have a HECS debt - or certainly not a meaningful one - because she hasn’t attained a degree. So it’s all an act. A deception to deceive the voting public. Her election to the Senate demonstrates our Senate voting system with "Party tickets" is broken. Donald Duck or Mikey Mouse could be elected to the Australian Senate if they are placed on a Labor or Liberal party ticket. This was not how our Parliament‘s upper house was envisaged to operate by the framers of our Constitution. Our Senate is meant to be a House of review, to scrutinise in detail legislation proposed by the lower house to explain the risks of unintended consquences. However when you have party hacks, elected to Senate solely because they where place by their party on the party ticket - the entire function of Senators becomes a bad joke. A more democratic system, one that would result in a more effective Senate, would be to completely do away with both party senate tickets and above the line voting - and force every Senator to be elected by the voters on merit.
