Students protesting Higher Education 'Reforms' are organising an electronic sit-in on Friday 1st August, 2003 by loging onto http://www.dest.gov.au at 1pm to 2pm in Eastern states; 12:30pm to 1:30pm in South Australia and Northern Territory; 11am to 12pm in Western Australia.

Later in August students are organising a National Day of Action to Save Public Education. In Melbourne this will include a Student / Community Rally Wed 27th of August 3pm, outside the State Library with a march at 4pm.

The Brendan Nelson 'Reforms' will have the effect of keeping working class kids out of university and threaten to compromise equity and accessibility as never before, while the education budget was sacrificed to increase war spending.

they aren't really "sit-ins" if they are virtual, are they?
