Oh, my. A potential good 'scam' publicly exposed. One hopes the heads of the various departments don't read OLO. You should have stayed underground, only alerting other like-minded social engineers. I think I like you a lot.

Amazing who you find via Google.

King was a refugee from Keating’s government. God know what he was doing at RMIT. We were going to scrap the writing programs in 96. A financial black hole. King took over and turned them around so that five years later, they were posting $500K profits.

Not surprised he was siphoning funds for a library. Here’s another little story. King replaced a woman who was dying of multiple brain tumours. He kept her on full pay for three years instead of chucking her on to Workcover until she died. Cost $140,000. Our little secret. Not a complete prick.

An old finance director from Building 101.
