After 17,300 job losses over the last year the Govt has handed down a 9.3% cut to university funding in #Budget2021 (over forward estimates). They’ve *admitted* that the Jobs Ready Graduate package was just a dressed-up funding cut all along.

Around 10% cut in uni funding. Those cuts will sting 250,000 workers, the next generation and our 4th largest export industry Who’s going to research the next vaccine? #DumbCuts #Budget21 #FundUniFairly
