Re: [Critical-Realism] FW: bad news from Gary

It seems to me all this righteous indignation should also be directed to
those who can do something about it, as indicated with High Importance by
'kazzak' on 17/05/2007, i.e. the Australian government minister responsible
for education, Julie Bishop [julie.bishop@xxxxxxxxxxx].

Yes, where has the Australian lecturers' union (NTEU) been? Haven't heard
one peep out of it. Is it in control of the Right too? A boycott of this
hillbilly university would be the way to go *if* it could be organised. Even
if you disagree with Gary and John's critique, they should have the right to
make it.
