The carnage continues across the University sector, with ANU, UNSW, and Charles Darwin University among those to announce more job cuts in recent days, bringing the total number of job losses to at least 11 000. The local Unis have not been spared, with Murdoch Uni management looking to cut $25 million from its salary budget.  Last week, Murdoch staff voted on a variation to their Enterprise Bargaining Agreement.  Indymedia's Alex Whisson spoke to Nick Everett, delegate and Branch Committee member for the National Tertiary Education Union, to understand what the vote was about, and what might happen next in the fight to save jobs.
