Australian politics live: Labor introduces student Hecs debt relief and childcare safety bills into House
The GuardianTuesday, July 22, 2025 at 11:54:57 PM
The Australian Labor government is pushing forward with two key bills in Parliament today—one offering relief for student HECS debts and another focused on childcare safety. Meanwhile, Deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley is staying out of the Nationals' leadership drama, keeping the spotlight on Labor's legislative moves.
Editor’s Note: Student debt and childcare are huge pain points for everyday Australians, so these bills could directly impact people's wallets and peace of mind. The HECS relief might ease financial pressure for graduates, while the childcare safety measures could reassure working parents. Ley's silence on Nationals infighting suggests the opposition is trying to avoid distractions—but Labor’s policies are the real story here.
