This video, obtained by Mail Online, shows Treasurer Joe Hockey back in 1987 calling for public support for free education.

What rubbish this is! Comparing hockey as a student 27 years ago lobbying with self interested motives to who he is now, Australia's treasurer who puts the interest of Australia first. Like you've never grown, matured, changed your opinion. Mamamia is the hypocrite this time.
I'm not sure why you think changing situations means he can't change the way he views things.
Yes, he got the beneft out of it 27 years ago, but things have changed a lot since then. I certainly don't agree with it, but i can see it is a reasonable place to look at saving some money.
People act like this money is going directly to his pocket.
