Govt’s HECS reforms would be ‘against all governance laws’ if they were publicly listed
PR Counsel’s Kristy McSweeney says the government’s HECS reforms would be “against all governance laws” if they were a publicly listed company.
HECS debts will be lowered for more than three million Australians under reforms designed to stop the loans growing faster than wages.
“It’s really the government now coming into line to behave like every other financial institution in the country,” Ms McSweeney told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“If the government was MasterCard, I think there would be a national outrage.
“If they were a publicly listed company doing this, it would be against all governance laws whatsoever.”
