Christopher Pyne - Youth Allowance

Pressure from the Coalition and students has forced Julia Gillard to admit she was wrong on Youth Allowance. However her humiliating back flip still leaves 25,000 students in the cold next year, and fails to fix the long term disadvantage faced by country students.
Students from farming or rural business families who have not yet finished school are being shut out from higher education unless they can find eighteen months work at 30 hours per week. Julia Gillard's changes do nothing for this group at all. Go to http://www.educationforaustralia.com.au
