Key Points
- The changes would apply to all graduates earning up to $180,000 a year.

- The government will aim to legislate the changes in 2025 to take effect from 1 July.
The minimum repayment threshold for student loans would jump by about $13,000 a year, so graduates would begin paying down debts once they earned $67,000, instead of $54,000, from 1 July 2025.

(Bloomberg) — For the hundreds of investors claiming to target net-zero portfolios, their largest holdings are often their biggest problem. That’s because the $64 trillion global market for sovereign bonds is largely inhospitable to sustainability-minded investing.
Why? There are only a limited number of issuers (fewer than 150 globally compared with more than 70,000 corporate bond issuers), meaning investors risk a much more concentrated portfolio if they seek to avoid climate laggards. Second, some investors have to hold government debt to match their assets with their liabilities, leaving them captive buyers of bonds they might otherwise have shunned.
Given these and other challenges, UK fund manager Abrdn Plc says the “drive…

This is a tough day for SolarZero teams, who have worked hard to build a more sustainable New Zealand. Today’s decision is not a reflection on their work or commitment.”
Ahead of the liquidation, the company’s senior lenders…

Albanese will make the announcement at a rally with South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas on Sunday.
It will be the first in a series of speeches over coming weeks in which the prime minister will outline his second-term agenda after weeks plagued by his off-taste Tourette’s insult, the purchase of a $4.3 million holiday home, and debate about his relationship with former Qantas boss Alan Joyce.
Sources previously told this masthead Labor’s second-term agenda would be focused on HELP changes, universal childcare and new investments in TAFE.

The federal government has rising university student fees in its sights for the next stage of its university debt overhaul, with a government source saying a one-off 20 per cent cut to debts is an interim measure.
Labor has made an election promise to wipe an average of $5,500 from existing student HECS debts and reduce the minimum amounts graduates must repay, as well as raise the income threshold at which mandatory repayments begin.
On Monday Health Minister Mark Butler hinted there were more changes to come before the year’s end.
“As Jason Clare has said, he’s got a very substantial report in front of him, the Universities Accord Report that makes a series of recommendations about structural change to university fees,” Mr Butler said.

The Albanese Labor Government will raise the minimum repayment threshold for student loans and cut repayment rates to make the repayment system fairer for all Australians with a student debt – around 3 million people.
