Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

While the idea of making liability proportional might seem appealing as a way to ensure fairness, it is not a policy that the Labor Party has advocated for. Their policies tend to focus more on systemic funding and support for education rather than creating punitive measures for universities based on graduate income.
