As of last year, the Australian government implemented a program to enforce repayment of the government-issued student debt for Australians abroad, previously there was no requirement and it resulted in many Australians avoiding repaying their debt altogether.

The truth is it was probably long overdue and I suspect those required to make repayments would also agree. I am curious how the Australian government would enforce this (for people never planning on coming back) and if there are any stories of enforcement.
Has anyone on this site been caught up in this regulation or know of someone that has, what was their experience?
