"The Greens have said they will wipe $81 billion in student debt — but how will they pay for it?"
Well, how about a single mining company paying even a teeny bit of tax?
Imagine that!
This is even worse than when journalists normally ask this question. It's a debt not a payment.
They will pay for it by finding a $2 coin in the centre console of their government funded car to buy a biro to cross off the line item.
Fuck me, the "rhetorical" question in the lede is answered in the article, buried in the fifteenth paragraph.
