I would like to know what Christopher Pyne thinks about the protestors behaviour in this video... pushing security guards and breaking into Uni Admin offices.

Joe Hockey speaks on the video.

It is a surprise to learn who rushes first to the barricades: Joe Hockey, then a 22-year-old Arts/Law student at the University of Sydney, who was protesting against the introduction of a $250 administration fee.

Hahaha! The joke is that his parents could easy afford the $250.- in those days.

Fantastic how all those ex University students, now politicians, suffer from memory loss.

When asked about his student protesting days on television last week, Mr Hockey said that in your 20s you complain and in your 40s, you explain are on the gravy train.
