Budget is better, but regions need more: UON VC

Caroline McMillen is the vice-chancellor of the University of Newcastle. As the chief of a regional campus, she has a vested interest in promoting the interests of non-metropolitan Australia, centres that are often overlooked in favour of the bright lights and huge populations of our capital cities. Shortly after absorbing the Budget, she spoke with Campus Review about the occasionally fraught government/business/university triangle, bemoaned the defunding of HEPP and implored the government to invest in regional Australia.
