    So people are camped out at Melbourne Uni because they don’t like their relationship with Lockheed Martin.

    From what I’ve read the relationship amounts to a few million in research funding to Melbourne Uni for non military related purposes. i.e. powerline management and first responder technology.

    Even if Melbourne Uni cut ties and rejected funding it would make 0 difference to the conflict.

    So either there’s something I don’t know, or the protesters aren’t very smart and/or mentally ill.

      I just want to be able to leave the building for lunch without being yelled at. Current situation, student elections, vegan whatever…
