Clip recap of today's student protest that is now a physical occupation of the Vice Chancellors office, and still ongoing.
Organiser @opinionatedleft is calling themselves #occupyf23
No police response. #auspol #nswpol
1/ Students march to the Vice Chancellery building

2/ Protestors reach the building and begin banging on the doors and windows that require security passes, or security to let them in.

3/ Students storm the Vice Chancellery building, having been passed in.
Security overwhelmed and impotent.
No police response, one unit a quarter mile away, PO&R already left.

4/ Campus Security passes in Protestors unable to clear interior security doors.

5/ University staff are bewildered, confused, unable to comprehend what is happening.
Staff are unable or unwilling to respond in a way that may stop the protestors occupation.

6/ Campus security are impotent, acquiescent, and deferential to the occupiers.

While occupation protestors vocally dominate their claimed space, a working class electrician arrives to enter but is given a form to fill by security staff before allowed in.

7/ Protest Organiser and Law Professor Simon Rice is satisfied with successful occupation and leaves.

The Guardian reported he was with a group of protestors who stepped into traffic on the Princes Highway before being shoved off the road by police.

8/ Mid-protest I stop to loot campus drinks for refreshments.
I even leave my unwashed items *outside* the dishwasher. #wild #rude #yolo

9/ Left unsatisfied without their vice chancellor to accost, a new target is identified to focus their rage and maintain morale.
Protestors begin policing their space beginning with... Me.

No media or police throughout the unedited livestream facebook.com/watch/live/?v=…

10/ Campus security previously impotent quickly find new purpose as vassals. Recognising the winds of change as the new occupiers become authority, security confronts me to find out if I am an admitted student.

11/ Jack Mansell of the USYD Students Council arrives to begin more directly policing their newly claimed space.

With security under new management, and no NSW police response, I recognise my welcome has run out and I take my swift leave away this new policing force.

12/ Student Council Jack Mansell announces his new policing directives while the Sydney University building is under his protestors new occupation.

Occupation is expected to continue overnight, with the occupation protestors taking dinner in the sydney university boardroom.

Coverage continues from @honi_soit, run by many of the protestors inside the building.
