Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
Having to pay back an extra bill on top of all my living expenses as a student is difficult. I also suffer from depression/anxiety, so the financial hardship this has put on me, has at times caused anxiety attacks, missed work, missed lectures, I feel trapped into paying back a debt that isn't mine and it's horrible.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
It's shameful. It's purely economically motivated, they don't mind if the poorest Australian's suffer as long as they can deliver revenue to pay for their exorbitant lifestyles, too bad they won't go after the billions in taxes owed to them by their mates on the big end of town.
