00:00 - 00:03Enrolment figures are in for all campuses.
00:04 - 00:05Starting with North Sydney
00:05 - 00:07We are down here and at Strathfield
00:08 - 00:12We are growing in Blacktown
00:12 - 00:15But off a very low base
00:17 - 00:19What about the other states?
00:19 - 00:21Victoria, Queensland, ACT?
00:24 - 00:26Vice-Chancellor
00:27 - 00:28The Provost...
00:31 - 00:33The Provost says we're down at all of them
00:34 - 00:36We're losing numbers everywhere
00:53 - 00:58Everyone out except Weller, Ramsay, Casamento and Khan
01:13 - 01:15How can enrolments be down?
01:15 - 01:17Don't they know about Vision 2033?
01:18 - 01:23It is innovative, agile and collaborative
01:25 - 01:28I sent out an email calling it impactful
01:29 - 01:31Were all those redundancies for nothing?
01:31 - 01:34This is Dianoia all over again
01:34 - 01:37Next you'll tell me the budget is still in deficit
01:37 - 01:40Which is all Greg Craven's fault
01:40 - 01:42Vice-Chancellor, Greg left 3 years ago...
01:42 - 01:46Well it's certainly not my fault, you traitor
01:46 - 01:48Vice-Chancellor, they were your decisions
01:48 - 01:52You're the one who runs the place, Weller
01:53 - 01:54You've been here 11 years
01:56 - 01:57I really just wanted the Monash job
01:57 - 02:00When Gardner got the Governor job
02:00 - 02:03I applied to Monash but I wasn't even shortlisted
02:04 - 02:08They appointed some internal nobody instead
02:08 - 02:13Now I'm stuck at this crappy university, captaining a sinking ship
02:14 - 02:16Where no-one recognises my genius
02:17 - 02:21And everyone expects me to take responsibility
02:27 - 02:29I just want a quiet life
02:30 - 02:34Giving speeches and having photo ops with politicians
02:34 - 02:36Without all this budget stuff
02:41 - 02:42It's all your fault
02:43 - 02:47None of you are having your contracts renewed
02:48 - 02:53And, Weller, you can clear out your desk today
02:54 - 02:56You're all as bad as the bishops
02:56 - 02:59They've had it in for me since day one
03:00 - 03:02And that Dean of Law appointment...
03:04 - 03:07She got a payout, she'll be fine
03:14 - 03:16I'm starting to think I won't be here by 2033
03:19 - 03:23But at least I get paid $1 million a year
03:25 - 03:26I'll survive
03:31 - 03:33But all of you except Khan are sacked
03:40 - 03:46I'm lucky John Fahey's not still around
03:46 - 03:49Or George Pell, who wouldn't stand for all this
03:53 - 03:56I'd be out on my arse
