Outraged Aussies have accused Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of trying to “buy votes” after posting about the government’s plan to wipe $3 billion of student debt on social media.

Incensed Aussies have piled on Anthony Albanese after a post about removing $3 billion of student debt backfired on the Prime Minister.

To remind Aussies of the move, Mr Albanese took to X, formerly Twitter, with a photo of himself and some university students.But the post backfired after becoming filled with replies criticising the PM’s move as a waste of taxpayer money.Another quipped: “Debt doesn't get ‘wiped’, you just transferred it to the taxpayer, without asking. If those kids knew that their future kids would be paying for it, they wouldn't be smiling.”“Buying votes sad,” one replier wrote.

Ms Henderson lashed out at the Labor government after student debt was not indexed at a lower rate. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Martin Ollman “Why has the minister failed to bring forward legislation in time to enact these changes to HELP indexation? When will the promised reductions in student debt be delivered?
