Save Our Jobs: Professional Staff are Worth Every Cent

We are calling on Federal Minister for Education Dan Tehan, and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg to commit to funding the shortfall in universities funding due to the impact of the Coronavirus, and save hundreds of jobs
Why is this important?
Universities have become more and more like corporations than education institutes because of consistent ideological attacks on education under liberal governments. Due to that, there has been an over reliance on international students funding the tertiary education sector. With the COVID19 Crisis shutting down borders, universities are in a significantly difficult place when it comes to running them.
The Tertiary education sector is the third largest sector in the country, however we are on the verge of losing hundreds of jobs, just before a major recession, unless the government commits supporting these institutions.
We are calling on all of the Liberal/National government, as well as ministers Dan Tehan and Josh Frydenberg to commit to supporting this sector, and supporting Australian Jobs.
