Senator TYRRELL (Tasmania—Independent TAS Whip) (14:36): Last year, the government made changes to HELP debts so that they'd be indexed either by CPI or WPI, whichever was lowest. This will save a graduate zero dollars this year, but that graduate would save money this year if the timing on indexation was changed. Why did the government prioritise changes that don't save graduates money now instead of a change that would save them money every year?
