Students would save $3bn over a decade if Labor changed Hecs indexation date by five months
Costings commissioned by independent MP Monique Ryan show that shifting the HECS indexation date from June to November could save university graduates $3 billion over a decade. The proposed change would allow compulsory payments to reduce debt before indexation is applied, costing the budget $1.2 billion in forgone revenue over four years.
