2. Melbourne ravehead and part time Ecuadorian Julian Assange dropped out of this esteemed establishment in the mid 2000s. While at uni, Assange was VP of the Mathematics and Statistics Society and organised their annual puzzle hunt. Assange was quickly disillusioned by the academy’s work for military and defence contractors at home and abroad, once describing a group of senior physicists as “snivelling fearful conformists of woefully inferior character.” While he may have objected to weaponds dealings, his moral rectitiude allegedly does not extend to matters of sexual consent.

3. Former criminal barrister Nicola Gobbo / Lawyer X / Informer 3838 first came to police attention when her Rathdowne Street house was raided for $82,000 worth of methamphetamines in 1993. All in a day’s work for this law student, Farrago editor and unwitting police informant! Ever since her identity was revealed in 2018, Gobbo has lived in hiding overseas, fearing retribution from her past high-profile gangland clients.

Prior to selling out to the US, Khalil was a small time tennis player, ranked at one point no. 25 in Australia. Perhaps taking inspiration from his party leader Albo, Khalil too has tracked the path from public housing to investment property ownership. Khalil has been the member for the seat of Wills since 2016, engaged in a long struggle to convince northside-residing students of his alma mater to stop voting for the pesky Greens political party.
