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.

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.
