whatever happened to tolerance and everything else they teach at Marxist tertiary education Dept schools? a dose of reality for globalism

About time Australian universities stepped up to the plate and started acting in the nation’s interest rather than that of their bank account.

We're going to 'racism shame' ourselves out of a country soon.

Australian students should not pay student union levies if Chinese students take control of the union!

Everything is being taken over by Chinese influence!

Imagine having your university’s student union taken over by foreign students. This is a consequence of your university being greedy and allowing an imbalance of Australian students to foreign students!

Good - the university has become a sell-out to international students now anyway to the detriment of local students. I wasted thousands on most of a Masters degree where there were students who couldn't speak basic English, yet pay full fees, CHEAT & get the same degree I would.

Do the work! Sort the wheat from the chaff first and then go forward.The nominees will all be at risk of interference from Beijing. that's the truth of the matter.

So this is a Free university SO LONG AS YOUR NOT CHINESE

Pretty sure they will have a rule change to cover up their racism. Its easy to control votes.

Don’t upset international student cash cow! University’s have sold their souls for $ ...disgraceful MonashUni
