On 14 December 1988, 4ZZZ was taken off air and forcibly evicted from its UQ premises by the then student union executive, headed by one Victoria Brazil. The move prompted many previously apolitical students to take a firm stand against the move and to rally support for the station.

Assange asks to end US war on whistleblowers
Julian Asssange has broken his silence after spending almost two months in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
Mr Assange spoke from the first floor balcony of the embassy and asked the U-S Government to give up its ‘witch-hunt” against WikiLeaks. The founder sought asylum with Ecuador after a British court ordered that he could be extradited to Sweden to face sexual assault accusations. Mr Assange has said the talk about prosecuting media organisations must stop and that the U-S war on whistle-blowers must end.
