We are also very lucky here that we don't take out student loans, and make repayments (we get HECS[1], and the repayments are automatic, like tax, once you cross a certain income threshold), so I'm guessing there wouldn't be a large enough number of people interested to make Australian centric data profitable.

HECS has been a pretty good compromise between private and public education. The major flaw is that course place supply is centrally dictated by Canberra and the ALP removed the main pressure valve (full-fee places).
