The beleaguered VC ended up in the local paper saying he had never met Epstein and had no idea how he ended up in the files.
I strongly object to antisemitism being singled out as an exceptionally severe form of racism in Australia.
This year we’ve had the highest number of Indigenous deaths in custody ever, despite a RC.

19th Nov, Uni of Newcastle staff will be striking & travelling to NSW Parliament to do some rabble-rousing as our VC & special guests celebrate our 60th year.
It's a STRIKE ON A BUS!
