I understand that The Mercury is seeking balance rather than representativeness in both its coverage of UTAS’ proposed move into the CBD and of comment on the UTAS hierarchy.

This means that it tries to publish articles on UTAS on a 1:1 basis, for and against. This distorts the true state of public opinion and has led to a considerable amount of criticism of UTAS’ proposed move and the UTAS hierarchy not being published by The Mercury.

This page is available for publication of articles submitted to, but not published, by The Mercury.

I will publish all articles unless they are defamatory. Accordingly, publication should not be taken as endorsement of the articles – although I am sure I will agree with much commentary that The Mercury has failed/fails to publish.
