The coalition is the one that increases student debt by thousands upon thousands of dollars.

Exactly, that is hypocrisy to the limit. If the coalition is really interested in addressing the burden of student debt then come and join the Greens' campaign to make university and TAFE free, to wipe all student debt. You weren't even willing to support the Greens. You opposed us even debating our bill on scrapping indexation. That is what you did, so please spare me this sudden concern right now about students.
