Australia Passes Law to Cut Student Debt by 20%
Australia passed a law to help students with their loans.
The government will reduce the amount of money people owe by 20%, which means a lot of debt will be erased!
This was a promise made during the election to make life more affordable.
The change will begin from June 1, 2025.
A graduate with an average loan will have thousands of dollars wiped off their debt.
Also, the amount of money a person needs to earn before they start paying back the loan has increased to help those with lower incomes.
Australia's Parliament passed a law to cut student loans by 20%.
The law will wipe over A$16 billion in debt for 3 million people.
This fulfills an election promise to address the rising cost of living.
The changes will be backdated to June 1, 2025.
The minimum repayment threshold will be raised to A$67,000.
