This federal election, millennial and gen Z voters will be the biggest voting bloc, outnumbering their older counterparts.
But despite holding the most power, some think not enough is being done for students in this election. Earlier this week, the Coalition said it would not back a Labor promise to cut university debt by 20 per cent if elected.
“I think the major parties have very little to offer students, with the exception of students who happen to run private childcare companies or fossil fuel projects,” National Union of Students education officer James McVicar told SBS News.
“For the rest of us, it’s a few crumbs off the table.”
