Labor, under their current leadership, want to be the Downtown Abbey party when it comes to educational opportunity. They think working class children should stick to the station in life they were born into - they should be happy to be recognized for being good with their hands and not presume to get above themselves.

Life Leadership Good Children Happy

Ever since going up to university, I have accumulated new debt, and new means of becoming indebted.

New Debt University Up Going Means
