Think of it this way, how would you feel, if you got a 99.25- but because you couldnt afford to pay your way through UNI, you cant get into your life long dream of MED. While on the other hand, a person who achieves a 94.25 (although still a good score) gets in, just because his dad owns a big company and can pay off his debt easily.

Come off it, it's not like that at all
Universities need money, as i said, this course is not by any means cheap to run
What should we do about it anyway, money can be used to send a child to a better secondary school, get private tutors, all kinds of advantages that build up to a place in any course

Is it fair that a person misses out on a ferrari because they are unable to pay 200k+? It's not like banning Bond Uni from offering full-fee med degrees is going to make any difference to the person who couldn't get a CSP place.

I am not so sure about that given the very high ENTER scores required due to restriction on the number of medical places that universities can offer due to government quotas.

I agree with BA22, australia offers the best opportunity to do MED. In asian countries (where the population is way bigger and seats are same as in australia) the competition is like a billion times harder.
Atleast australia offers rural and bonded schemes plus flexible post grad options

I've heard of people saying that parents should effectively be taxed when they spend their own money on their child's education.

LOL. Im not even in the running. So no, its not envy. Trust me. But i know nothing can be done about it, and that's fine. I just wanted to say my opinion on the matter (and i am entitled to it). But yes, not envy.
And BA22..I acknowledge it, im just saying it's unfair.
