The Guardian’s Caitlin Cassidy has reported on the open letter the Australian Historical Association has released, urging the Albanese government to abolish the jobs-ready graduate program and address the cost of arts and humanities degrees by implementing a more equitable system.

Cassidy interviewed Tim Winton about the delay in Labor addressing the Morrison government changes, which Labor have “under review”:

That any Australian government should seek to make getting a humanities degree more difficult is upsetting … but the idea that a Labor government would do nothing at all to right this wrong is utterly mystifying.

“If Labor won’t act to defend equity in education, what is the point of them – I mean, what do they really stand for?”
