Sky News host Cory Bernardi says the education sector is “failing the Australian people” while “costing us a fortune”. "Almost every child is now expected to go to university ... some aren't suited for it. They get degrees in social studies and similar things then peddle new societal experiments that reduces humanity to subjects in a giant socialist petri-dish." "Courses are filled with identity politics, critical race theory and gender, of course." He said it is also "alarming" open debate is "shunned" on many higher education campuses. "Research by the Institute of Public Affairs found that 41 per cent of students felt they sometimes couldn't express their opinion at university and a whopping 59 per cent found they were prevented from voicing that opinion by other students." "Let's remember that government funds degrees and is expected to have around $80 billion outstanding in student loans in the year ahead, and the government's own figures expect around a quarter of that – that's $20 billion, to never be repaid."
