And here I was thinking universities are not hubs of right wing extremism.

Just change not to hot

johndraw.bsky.social•3 days ago

Such cowardice from a so-called leader. @monashuniversity.bsky.social following Columbia and bending the knee was not on my bingo card for 2025 but here we are....

shazh.bsky.social•3 days ago

And from a VC that spent her early years railing against British colonial invaders in Northern Ireland, speaking out for the courageous N I women resisting British soldiers...ironic really...

freya2020.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sarah has a lot to say for herself. I'm not sure which constituents she is currently representing. However, Sharon's excuse it pretty flimsy. "Sarah told me too", isn't going to fly.

terra155.bsky.social•2 days ago

Regretfully she is a state Senator 🤢

freya2020.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. The good folk of Corangamite removed her, and the turd floated back.

terra155.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well described 💕

Absolutely disgusting and disturbing display of censorship.

sloppyjoe-au.bsky.social•3 days ago

She probably cried a river to achieve her goal.

freya2020.bsky.social•3 days ago

Gosh I hope not. She's an ugly cryer.

lindabrownoz.bsky.social•3 days ago

Disgusting. Monash is no longer a University but a propaganda hub.

thannaht.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s still a university (under pressure though). Don’t believe the RW hype

imnotonfire.bsky.social•3 days ago

They all are unfortunately.

lindabrownoz.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, it was not true in the 80’s, now it’s painfully obvious that dissent will not be tolerated. That is not a university.

imnotonfire.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m studying at RMIT this year. We all received an email for harmony day warning us not to piss anyone off. Despite the fact that we acknowledge First Nations people of course.
Obviously only some First Nations count.

lindabrownoz.bsky.social•2 days ago

How very disappointing, when my son went to RMIT it had a very good reputation.👎🏼

cottles.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hope they are not warning that ❤️ for 🇵🇸 is unacceptable!

imnotonfire.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think they’re warning that if anyone feels offended by expressions of ❤️ for 🇵🇸, there will be consequences.

therealelliotde.bsky.social•2 days ago

Monash staff have started an open letter to express their anger at this decision - pls circulate to Monash staff, there are over 50 signatories and it only appeared yesterday

So now we need to find out who called Sarah H to push her to call for the cancellation.

melhalpin.bsky.social•3 days ago

The LNP’s politicisation of both antisemitism and Islamophobia is disgusting & utterly shameful. But when there’s no line they won’t cross, who’s surprised.

The fact though that Monash University have completely capitulated to them is equally shameful.

lngrs.bsky.social•3 days ago

Henderson would have to be one of the faintest of shadows to jump at.

gardenbirdnerd.bsky.social•3 days ago

Zionist lobbying /influence is scarily powerful.

Hi Jo, can you message me? I'd like to ask about this

bshakes.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s a 3rd tier uni. That tracks.

Sharon Pickering and Sarah Henderson can both fuck off.

lenche-sk.bsky.social•3 days ago

This ☝️

robyninthestix.bsky.social•3 days ago

According to her wikipedia page, Monash is Henderson's old alumni.
Unelected by the people, parachuted into the senate vacancy by Scumo.
The assignment on 3 May is to put her beyond the top 20. Vote below the line on the senate paper, people!

allana31.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sarah Henderson is a nobody- very depressing that a VC of a respected Uni would ‘buckle’ at
call from that creature🙄😓

allana31.bsky.social•3 days ago

😱🤬

It’s mind boggling how, in this case, academics can be swayed by a one sided view from a questionable source.

againstcorruption.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not many academics left as VCs anymore. Public servants, CEOs and politicians now mostly

Evil lazy liar, multi millionaire Dutton. Dangerous, delusional, despicable, divisive, desperate. Murdoch/Stokes/🦏 Rhinoarse LNP crime families own the racist Misogynists, thieves, rapists, pedophiles, Joyce Taylor Sukkar O'Brien. Repugnant miserable corrupt reptiles. Never forget & never forgive.

efrl.bsky.social•3 days ago

You called it @beneltham.bsky.social

beneltham.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not able to comment on this specifically but I can say there’s very considerable disquiet at Monash Uni about this call. The way it was handled was terrible. Monash executive (and former NAB banker) Damien Farrell told the Museum staff of the decision via a pre-written script that he read from

beneltham.bsky.social•3 days ago

When Monash Museum staff asked for the reasoning behind the decision to cancel Sabsabi, the “Vice-President of Advancement” Mr Farrell told them he’d have to those Qs on notice and get back to them :/

tzortzo.bsky.social•1 day ago

We’re at the point where Zionists and their supporters are not held to account for any of their actions. If they can carry out a genocide with impunity they can do anything.

maggieberesford.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well. Well.

tozzicat.bsky.social•3 days ago

You mean that Sarah Henderson, Mrs Sooky? FMD! You do mean her!

heatherforward.bsky.social•3 days ago

Those Vice Chancellors are generally LNP backing business people, in my observation

chookybum.bsky.social•2 days ago

That would explain why Tony Burke said he didn't interfere and Monash had made their own decision. Everyone blamed Burke, saying he had directed Monash to cancel. Now the truth is out.

maconnolly888.bsky.social•1 day ago

How bad would life be if you suddenly got phone calls from Sarah Henderson? uuuuuugggggghhhhhh 😨😱🫣🤢

monash uni...No posts yet.

surlysimon.bsky.social•1 day ago

So yet again we see that the true danger to free speech and the true cancel culture is the LNP. And front and center is that censorious castigating prig Sarah Henderson, what a nasty piece of work

my2centsworth.bsky.social•3 days ago

Someone should encourage Sabsabi to take this to the Human Rights commission. It's shaping up as obvious discrimination/racism. He doesn't have to prove it is, Monash has to prove it isn't. If anyone out there is in contact with Sabsabi, tell him to test this case as a matter of principle

terrifrancis.bsky.social•3 days ago

Cost? Would need some probono legal professionals.

my2centsworth.bsky.social•3 days ago

There's plenty of lawyers out there who'd be happy to represent Sabsabi pro bono. I can think of two.

shazh.bsky.social•3 days ago

Shocked & saddened to hear this from Sharon Pickering. I can vividly remember her PhD work & passionate speaking of Catholic women in N Ireland resisting British colonial invaders. How far the once principled & ethical have fallen: throwing away decades of good work to bow to extremist Zionism

dcee60.bsky.social•1 day ago

Shocking decision.

It seems that, yet again, an anonymous complainer gets to hide behind an Australian.

britey.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why on earth would you jump to Sarah Henderson’s tune?

fraucernik.bsky.social•3 days ago

Anderson did . Because she worked at the ABC donkey years ago , she keeps threatening them . I have seen her how she operates during Senate Estimates. She is sitting in the Senate because of Morrison . Henderson is a piece of shit .

lenche-sk.bsky.social•3 days ago

A thoroughly nasty piece of work

shelly0z.bsky.social•3 days ago

Absolutely outrageous if correct

tweetfrankie.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nope - that is barely believable. What will they now do if other artists Monash is hosting, want to back out in a show of support to Khaled …? As is their right.

pinogap.bsky.social•3 days ago

Henderson better watch out if she so dares to approach me in this election.

I will not be able to hold back.

And they have the audacity to say they are independent and void of political interference.

shaneconvey.bsky.social•3 days ago

An unelected house member last election gifted a senate seat. So horrid she wasn’t elected by her electorate and Dutton wanted nasty people in the leftovers.

Disgusting that they have caved so quickly. Look at how Colombia is faring - complying in advance will get you no where.

Shame on @monashuniversity.bsky.social

beahogan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Henderson seems to have people on speed dial. She’s done this before somewhere I’m sure.

peggysanders.bsky.social•3 days ago

Seem to remember? Was it Sarah Henderson who admitted to having direct access to National Broadcaster, with roster of LNP speakers and talking points for the week lined up. Scott Morrison’s mega media unit controlled media conversation-“favourites” Conroy.

Sarah fuckin’ Henderson … enough said!! 🤬🤬🤬

bobnew.bsky.social•2 days ago

The sarah Henderson who was sacked by her electorate, but given a backdoor back into a position on the public tear.

jennyjforster.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thanks Jo. Re-run of Ita as ABC chair, collapsing in face of persistent personal emails obviously emanating from a Zionist lobby. As a media person of her experience must have deduced.

agpat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sarah Henderson. She wasn't even elected, she was planted by her Party. Why would she have any clout or authority on such issues?

Monash University's reputation will be completely trashed by this stand with Israelis soldiering and the anti Muslim, anti Palestinian stance it is determined to adopt.

killerspud.bsky.social•3 days ago

Made me sick to my stomach. Henderson is a fool
