The National Tertiary Education Union is carefully thanking all its parliamentary pals lest anyone think Rebekha Sharkie from the Nick Xenophon Team acted alone. “The NTEU applauds the decision of the NXT and also gratefully acknowledges the consistent opposition by the ALP and the Greens to cutting university funding and making students pay more. We also note Senator Jacqui Lambie’s steadfast opposition, as well as that of (independent members of the House of Representatives) Andrew Wilkie and Cathy McGowan in the House of Representatives.”
