Last night I read the Saturday Paper story about Prof. Bell, Julie Bishop and the ANU.
What a complete mess. I am sad to see this institution so badly served (not only by Bell, but by *all* the governing structures - and by many of their members).
It is time for the Government to step in and directly manage, the place, with a view to handing it back to self-governance in five years or so.
