Chinese community Council rally

Dear Friend of VU

Attached media release from Chinese community Council rally today opposing closure of Languages other than English at VU.

Between 100-200 attended – in what was a rousing and vocal rally – in attendance also was Sam Afra Chairperson of the Ethnic Communities’ Council of Victoria (see another media release below), and the secretary of NUS and Hong Lim, parliamentarian.

The rally appears to have also concerned Victoria University’s administration enough to have K Block, the administrative block in which the Vice Chancellor’s office is housed, locked down for the duration of the rally.
