Turnbull’s agenda: universities get funding cuts, banks get tax cuts
The ABC’s FOI reported today shows South Australia’s universities are facing more than $250m in Turnbull’s cuts.
"University of South Australia is one of the state’s biggest employers, and it’s losing $83m," Australian Greens education spokesperson Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said.
"Flinders University is losing a tenth of its funding, while the University of Adelaide is worse off by $53m.
"These are savage cuts to our centres of excellence.
"And they aren’t just cuts to universities. They’re cuts to innovation, to research, to jobs and to the state economy.
