This is what gets me about HECS: Week after week a portion for repayment is taken out of your pay. The government holds this tax for a full year and then, once you complete your tax return, they raise a HECS contribution. But if you are below the threshold, they refund you.

Do your tax return. Below threshold? Enjoy a refund. But wait. Here’s the catch. Even though you tried to make a repayment, we now won’t accept it. And here’s a 7% hike on your principal. Oh look, you still have a debt? Take home pay reduced. Cycle continues..

I loved being part of this panel. So much to think about re making healthcare more nurturing for patients AND for new doctors and other professionals. Such important ideas. I really appreciated participating. And thank you @Emma_J_Young for your thoughtful questions!

Summer’s reading: 1 huge bestseller. 3 Aussie writers. A booker shortlist. The Hungerford & Fogarty Awards. A Prince. 2 wars. Several crimes. Ghosts. Literary fiction. Ageing. Families. Corruption and the church. I think I read widely this summer. What are you reading?
I write slowly. I like to clean up one mess before I start another. Please don’t ask me how many words I wrote over the summer!

When one of the teens wakes up taller than they were yesterday… and now they’re looking down to meet your gaze, and you’re starting to think, ‘am I shrinking? What is happening to me?’…
