Education Funding: Motion
At present, applicants cannot be assessed on their own income until they are 23 years of age. That is disgraceful. Young independent mothers aged between 18 and 21 years who may have two or three children are still means tested on the basis of their parents' income. These young female adults may have been independent from the age of 16 and there is something wrong with the way they are being treated.
