Breakfast on TVNZ this morning

On Breakfast this morning Pippa and that stoner from New York were interviewing some wonk from the Institute of more debt for students, wonk was soothingly telling the stoner from New York that students can just take out more money in student loans than a universal allowance thus damning them to a lifetime of even more debt. New York stoner didn’t challenge it and Wonk got away with the softest hand job of interviews. Pippa cackled about students shouldn’t get education if they can’t pay for it, New York stoner said students should party like he did. At no point did the issue of student debt and their crippling effect on students and the solution universal allowances could provide to that crippling debt ever manage to pop it’s head into this totally shit interview.
