I have read every student newspaper in Australia (as an ex-editor of one)
and would have to agree that most of the east coast papers are heavily
biased and should not be called "student newspapers" as such.  They are
propaganda machines.

Grok, Curtin Uni's paper, has removed political bias by removing the relation-
ship with the student guild.

I should know, as I have reported negatively (shock, horror) on corruption
(gasp) in the student guild at Curtin.
