Tony Abbott visit sees students clash with police at Melbourne University

Date
September 12, 2014

Student protesters have clashed with police and tried to force their way into a Melbourne University building ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

About 200 angry students stormed the newly opened Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, but were pushed back by dozens of police officers.

The vocal group went from entrance to entrance, pushing into and being pushed back by police, before staging a brief sit in on Elizabeth Street.

Several protesters tried to force open a door, battling with security guards who pushed them back from inside the building.

The group returned to the main entrance, shouting "we deserve a future too".

Organisers said they wanted to target Mr Abbott because of planned changes to higher education.

Coordinator Jade Eckhaus said they wanted to send a clear message that those in support of attacks on higher education are not welcome on university campuses.

More to come

Maybe if Tony and Joe and the rest of the Krew of fat-heeled terrors offered to take some leadership and offer to pay back THEIR tuition costs at today's rates.. or those these same students will accept or have no education.... it might go some way to mollifying the righteously angry crowd arming at the gates of Tony's Heaven....

Reading up on the assassination of Julius Caesar... the Senate voted to indemnify and pardon his killers, but Octavian had that overturned at the point of the legions after the initial rioting in the streets from the common herd....

Seems apt....

Society should pay for it.

If the Mad Monk and his motley crew had any real sense of decency they'd pay back their tuition costs which they received free. Just to demonstrate they stood behind their words that the "age of entitlement" is over.

They won't of course. They'll just arrange scholarships for their children and screw everybody else's like Catholic clergy. Grin

Yes and the problem with that is?
