Revoking compulsory uni student services fees not a priority: Abbott TONY Abbott says he has no plans to revoke compulsory university student services fees, in a clear sign to colleagues he does not want his legislative agenda to become bogged down by ideological distractions. The Prime Minister said today that the Coalition remained opposed to compulsory student unionism, but "I have to say that there's a lot on our plate." Meanwhile, Mr Abbott confirmed the government was rethinking Labor's decision to uncap university places, saying he wanted to ensure course quality did not suffer from over-enrolments. "We are looking at this issue," he said. The important thing is to ensure that we maximise access to universities while at the same time maintaining and wherever possible improving their quality. Mr Pyne announced this week that the demand-driven university places system was under review, sparking claims by Labor and the Greens of looming budget cuts. Mr Abbott said Labor's post-election concerns followed its own misgivings about the abolition of the cap and its effect on university quality. Mr Pyne yesterday suggested there were too many well-educated people who were "flipping burgers at Maccas." "What's the point of having a university education if you can't do anything with it?" he said. The Howard government banned compulsory student union fees in 2005, in a move universities regarded as an intolerable intervention in their internal affairs. The Labor Party reversed the ban in 2010. "We didn't vote for the student services amenities fee and we will move to get rid of it," Mr Pyne said.
