Australia’s universities are controlled by an overpaid class of parasitic managers who have no idea what they are doing, and no idea what a university does.

LEAVE AUKUS NOW.

An mcm style illustration of a red + black (AUKUS) submarine broken in half. The AU section floats above the waterline with a red rescue helicopter and rope ladder above. The KUS section sinks below, trailing thick black smoke, with a hammerhead shark circling beneath. Bubbles rise from the wreck. Below the waterline, warped hand-lettered text reads "let it sink" - the word SINK distorted as if dissolving underwater. Muted greens, greys, red and black with vintage paper texture.
