Under Labour and National Governments, student debt has grown to over $7 billion, in order to ensure big business and the already wealthy get lower taxes.

The Alliance supports totally free public education to ensure that no person is disadvantaged. This will be paid for by a progressive tax system that means corporates and the already wealthy contribute more to the basic costs of running society.
