Victoria University council members met on Monday to set student fees, following on from a much-publicised leak and publication of the fee options in the student paper in early October. About 40 students protested against the fee increase and eventually forced the council to move to a private location, but not before fees were hiked by up to 10%.

A maximum of 30 students were allowed to sit in on the council meeting, the rest were forced to remain outside. Students inside were initially fairly polite, interrupted only by the occasional (and very loud) "phone call" and heckling. This was swept aside with bouts of chanting, loud heckling and abuse. Those inside were repeatedly warned they would be kicked out.
