TRUE to macho form, an Aussie university has appointed the world's first heterosexuality officer - a man with a mission to protect straight rights.
The student association at the University of New England in rural New South Wales state has appointed third-year law student Dave Allen.
When asked what his duties were, he replied: "None at the moment".
Craig Comrie, the gay officer for Australia’s National Union of Students, thought the appointment was a protest against gay organisations at other universities.
He said: "The reasons why ***** departments are set up is because those students are disadvantaged on campus."
"I think it’s just a really unfair reaction to the fact that student unions support ***** activism and women’s activism on campus."
Allen said he had no objection to homosexuality as long as gays and lesbians weren’t being given special treatment.
"It doesn’t matter whether you’re straight, gay, black, white or brindle," he said.
"But when it starts getting, 'Oh, we need a space for us to hang out,' it’s crap. Just come down the pub and have a few beers with us."
