Can Australia afford free university?

Headlines: Trump sweeps all battleground states, EV sales drop across Australia and a massive weekend in Aussie sport.

Deep Dive: Student debt reforms are leading the Albanese government's 2025 election promises. The key changes would reduce existing student debt by 20% and raise the income threshold for repayments.

However, some say these measures don't go far enough, with calls for free higher education back in the spotlight.

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou digs into these proposals, asking what they mean for students, graduates, and the broader economy.

Joined by ANU Professor Andrew Norton and The Motley Fool Australia's Chief Investment Officer, Scott Phillips - we explore whether these reforms are a step forward and whether Australia's economy and tax system could handle making higher education free.
