As of today, the government will be introducing two and four year technical certification. Not everyone wants a liberal arts university education. These certifications will be called standard and master certification. They're giving people opportunity to fill jobs we desperately need. The project is funded by a new tax on corporations. Thank you my fellow Australians.

Australia condemns the "diplomatic bombing" done by Reitzmag. There is nothing diplomatic about aggression. We hope actual diplomacy will win out.
Kevin Rudd
President of the Australian Federation -
As of 2023, all Australian tertiary education will be free of cost. The government will be passing legislation with this a top priority. We recognise we need to invest in education. Also, we are mandating cars and energy be carbon zero by 2030. We only have one planet.
Julia Gillard
Prime Minister of the Australian Federation
