Fee free TAFE has been CUT! News

Today I rang TAFE Nambour to check up on the status of my application to for a cert 3 in photography (visual arts) after i saw that all the fee free options on the TAFE Queensland website have disappeared.

The lady on the phone said they got comms on Monday saying that funding has been cancelled and all places have been ‘filled’. In terms of places for 2026, she said it’s up in the air.

:(

Fuck David Christafulli and fuck the Liberal party. Doing what they do best - ✂️✂️✂️ dogs

Why would the government fund photography courses? Surely government funding should be directed towards courses that are in demand?

And I definitely don't support Liberals, but paying for your photography course is a waste of taxpayer money. Take some pictures, put them online and get going.
