Last week MP Cathy McGowan (Ind-Indi) proposed a bill to put country campuses at the core of regional development (CMM March 27) and now she tells her local paper how education can turn Albury Wodonga into an Oxford (or Cambridge) equivalent, by uniting the cross-border twin-cities’ two universities, La Trobe and Charles Sturt, plus Victorian and NSW TAFE. ““I’ve been talking to (Education) Minister (Simon) Birmingham about what happens in England with Cambridge University and with Oxford University,” she told the Border Mail’s Shan Morgan. Albury and Oxford, Wodonga and Cambridge – hard to tell them apart.
