On 1 June, millions of Australians will be hit with more debt. Average student debt will balloon by almost $1,700. For others it will soar by $3,000 and even $5,000. This means many more will be going backwards. They can't keep up because student debts are now going up faster than they can be paid off. Will the government intervene urgently to ensure people are not hit with an obscene increase in their student debts on 1 June?
