Angling for Defence Contracts at Fisherman’s Bend

Today we're focusing on the ties between the University of Melbourne and weapons manufacturers.

In particular, the university is spruiking its forthcoming inner-city campus at Fisherman's Bend. The University’s behaviour during student protests last year has also come under scrutiny, particularly its use of wifi to surveil students; one critic is calling it "twenty-first century McCarthyism".
