Students caught out....

Hi, if you got to University in Australia, you don't have to pay tuition fees or such, you are issued with a fee that will be collected off you when you acquire employment and an income over a certain level.
If your parents don't earn enough while you are at Uni then you can go on the Student Allowance, about the same as unemployed benefits.

Then they take a percentage out with your paye tax each week of fortnight until you fees are payed back.

The local University here has just had another name change in the last 12 months, its now called Federation University, or FU.
I tell ya wot, these academiks makeing up the beaut naymes are a wier... wied... wierd lot.
