Swinburne University is under growing pressure over its move to evict a community childcare centre and kindergarten from its home of nearly 20 years, in Melbourne’s south-east on land that was given to it by the state government.
In a rare display of unity, members of political parties from across the spectrum and independents gathered at the Windsor community children’s centre on Wednesday to call on Swinburne to stop the sale, ahead of a byelection in the inner-Melbourne seat of Prahran and a federal election in the seat of Macnamara.
