Another corrupt Australian university vice-chancellor. Someone should write a book about them all.

University V-Cs are a shameful bunch. Way overpaid and unfit to lead.

The Vice-Chancellor seems to be a Liberal lapdog for quite a while now “This morning, after raising my concerns with Monash’s Vice-Chancellor, Sharon Pickering, she advised the university will not allow this event to proceed.”

Don’t give her an Aussie nickname. Sharon doesn’t deserve it. Pathetic forelock tugger. Real Australians say fuvk you to authority.

Disgraceful decision.
Let's have a vote of no confidence from staff and see if we can do better the 95% they got at ANU.

the staff could have stood up to VC but then it would be a career limiting move.
and so here we are.

beckjoinyourunion.bsky.social•6 days ago

How do you know they didn’t? And why blame them, when the VC made the decision??

poidapie.bsky.social•6 days ago

The pro-Israel lobby gets what they want, where they want it, yet again?

She fits the agenda though : Sir John Monash was a founder of the Zionist movement here in Australia and as we all know, they support what bastardy Israel is perpetrating on the Palestinian people.
To my mind, the biggest blot on his record is the foundation of the ZFA, because what it has become.

What a coward!! No leadership at our universities - we should be able to dock their salaries for such terrible decision making

Hi 💟 I'm sorry
I’m Diana. My family and I are facing very difficult circumstances in Gaza, and we need your help. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in our lives. If you can contribute or even share this message, I would be deeply grateful. Thank you mona..

Maybe Sharon needs to take a sabbatical and think about her actions and future.

It's heartbreaking for everybody involved in the exhibition. I know how much expertise, work and commitment goes into a cultural event like that.
Most of us naively imagine that a major university is above that kind of cowardice and stupidity.
