Martinis in Hell



This Sunday is the first time in 10 years, or more, that I won't be giving a lecture, or speaking to, prospective students about Indigenous Studies at the University of Melbourne.

2. NTEU Melbourne Branch members unanimously voted not to participate in Open Day 2013. It's non-participation rather than a strike. In a system that encourages individualism and self-interest I've never been paid for my attendance, nor has it ever translated into anything remotely like personal benefit in an institutional sense.

3. For the record, I reject almost every aspect of the Left's agenda but they'll be serving martinis in hell before I cross a picket line.
