USU staff member totally fine with getting fired after seeing wax Taylor Swift at Welcome Week
Former USU employee speaks out.
March 8, 2021
The University of Sydney Union (USU) brought joy and not a smidge of discomfort to many first years last week with their inclusion of a wax Taylor Swift figure at their Welcome Week stall.
But for ex-USU worker Grhant O’Phucklan, the figure was much more than an uncanny recreation of a pop star – it was a harbinger of peace.
“Losing my job last year was devastating,” Grhant told Honi. “I didn’t think there would be any way I could support my 3 children: Taylor, Swift, and 2014 Radio Disney Music Award for Fiercest Fans.”
