I remember all to well when I was her age friends freeloading at Uni doing nothing of value or even passing (bumming around) and being covered by the tax payer.

Since the country has a massive debt yet to be repaid by "students" of all types, perhaps a deeper look at this type of bribe is warranted.
Sadly liarbour is appealing to its membership base though (education system and railway union memberships).

As for lips...

I've not researched the details (are there any) but I'd be more in favor of a policy that reimbursed students at the end of the year based on their performance. Do well and get something back. Fuck up and pay your debt.

Aye. The left's argument there is that we should all value the likes of all those arts history degrees. Possibly because a lot of them were the recipients of that academic largess. On that basis I'll be enrolling in the closest thing I can find to motorcycle maintenance via tantric sexual healing.

Failing that I expect those that value weird shit should pay for their own perversions.

You can make a damned good case for looking at what professions we're short of, or which ones contribute more economically and subsidising the fuck out of those, based purely on a return on investment.

If Labour said they were going to fund ('frinstance) science, maths, engineering, medical degrees only but not lawyers, arts, etc there would be an uproar about how the communists are forcing people to do stuff they don't want to.

However if they are going to fund any degree then they're wasting money - cant win.

If National said the same thing (science, maths engineering etc) everyone would love how they are bringing prosperity through strong and stable policies. Fuck 'em - they have had nine years to do that, then pull these rabbits out of the hat in the last month.

If I was the Greens I'd be offering a free Idroid and years subscription to Instasnaptunes with every photo of ballot paper voting

Green.

For old people National could offer the back catalog of the Rolling Stones and Beatles on Vinyl.

Winston could offer to give away the Pension that he is " entitled" too but on a salary of over 180K does not really need.

Labour could put together a Working Group on tax.

9 years, everything on offer now will not happen, its just that a valueless bribe -- such a farce at extreme costs to society

I think the problem is that precedents have been set by far Left wing organizations - either they spend everyone else's Money, or they end up using force to get people to comply.

Personally, The prevalence of Election year bribes is simply another reason why I don't vote.

Maybe vote for the least bribingest outfit might stand a better chance of knocking the bullshit on the head?
