Union leader Alison Barnes is looking forward to meeting Celia Hammond, very recent ex VC of University of Notre Dame Australia and now Liberal candidate for Julie Bishop’s seat of Curtin. “If elected we hope you add to the voices in Parliament for students and the sector. Look forward to you becoming a Defender of Tertiary Education & signing our pledge when we meet!,” the federal National Tertiary Education President says. Which may not happen if Professor Hammond sees Dr Barnes first.
