You Could Soon Go To Jail If You're Being Paid To Write Someone's Uni Essays

University cheats who take exams or write essays for students face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to $210,000 under proposed new laws.The draft legislation released on Sunday would make it an offence to provide or advertise cheating services.organised cheating threatened the integrity of Australia’s higher education system.

"We will make contract cheating a crime sending a very clear message that cheats do not prosper under the Morrison government." The department said the penalties outlined in the bill are"intentionally severe" so as to provide a visible and meaningful deterrent to providing cheating services or access to them:"And secondarily to provide a more streamlined and efficient mechanism for institutions to address detected cheating activity with clearer avenues of support from regulators and law enforcement."
