We have it pretty good, at the moment.
I got thru my science degree free of charge (pre HECS), and had to pay HECS for my medical degree. My PhD is HECS exempt. All in all, I had a 10K debt, which has been paid off. Pay your way (overseas) med students pay about 20K a year. However, the true cost of a medical degree is somewhere around the 200K mark!
In the USA, the student cops the full load of this bill. The poor buggers have to take out enormous loans or have incredibly wealthy parents to look after the bills. The current government is steadily moving towards such a system where only the wealthy elite can have a chance to make it thru university. Amenities fees, union fees and the odd library fine are trivial fare compared to a $35000 uni bill per year.
I'm all for a light HECS fee. Whilst it goes little way into subsidising the cost of the degree, it acts as a disincentive for people who start a degree because they can and then drop out (1st year drop out rates are about 30%).
