Industry voices implore the senate to vote against the ‘Jobs Ready’ graduates package in video from ACAG

The newly-formed Australian Communications Advocacy Group (ACAG) has released a video featuring industry voices calling on the senate to vote against the ‘Jobs Ready’ graduates package that will dramatically reduce funding from humanities courses at universities and place public relations and communications students in the highest price bracket of $14,500 a year in fees.

The video also calls upon the support of the Centre Alliance’s Stirling Griff, who will have the casting vote on Tuesday, and thanks Senators Rex Patrick and Jacqui Lambie for their public condemnation of the bill Wednesday, in which Lambie announced it will “make it harder for poor kids” to attend university.

Chris Savage, the campaign director for the ACAG and the director of the Savage Company, said the bill is “down to the wire”.
