Claires Statement - Occupy Glenacre - 23rd January
As Part of Occupy Sydneys Campaign to help Save Claire and Chris Priesty's Farm we sent a media team to document the struggle to retain their property from the greedy NAB Bank.
Since Michael Spence became Vice-Chancellor Sydney Uni management has tried to sack hundreds of staff and slash wages and conditions. At the same time, they have invested hundreds of millions into campus infrastructure - cos at Sydney Uni management values buildings over people.
Students Respond on Open Day by informing prospective students what they can expect if they come to Sydney Uni.
Your Apathy is their Greatest Asset!

OPPOSE THE LIBERALS' ATTACKS ON STUDENTS!
The government's latest budget continues their assault on students and universities. First they want to cut $2 billion dollars out of higher education and pay students $4 an hour on work for the dole. Then once the election is safely out of the way they want to:
• Cut funding for undergrad degrees by 20%
• Bring in low income HECS repayments
• Recover HECS debt from the dead
• Then start deciding which courses they want to deregulate
Don't let the Liberals get away with it! Come to the demonstration on May 11, 1PM @ USYD's Fisher Library, to stand up to the government's attacks on students.

As a Photographer/Videographer I documented Occupy Sydney in this space/place for two years, for me at that time it was an inspiring and amazing thing to witness and be a part of, Now however this space/place will be remembered more for the actions of a deranged loner acting only for his lunatic ends and the deaths of two innocent people and to the horror of a whole city & country.
Seeing the flowers and the people here after this horrific act remind me that humans can come together for something better and we should never judge a whole group based upon the actions of a few lunatic extremists.
Any comments promoting hatred of any particular group or religion will be deleted and the user blocked.

Come and beat the drum like Sydney has never heard before!
On this night along with several graduates final exhibitions - the time capsule will be buried.
Bring a drum and join in a mass SOS beat in Morse code.
Lets vibrate - recalibrate - consecrate - set this situation straight.
