Where are the Unions calling for pricks responsible?

Who designated the structure !?

And the uni hasn’t said anything yet come on curtinuni

The 'School of Design and the Built Environment'...

an awful tragedy! but seriously, why are they building a roof out of glass?! seems like an accident waiting to happen

This is one bloody joke or has the Curtin uni. really hired this 3rd rate co from some equally 3rd rate country. We know these kind of mishaps happen only in those overseas country but certainly not in Australia . Reading this was a real shock & hopefully this’s rectified soon

thankyou for a less ghoulish headline than some other agencies

One person is dead, one person is critical and several people are injured following the incident in Bentley

Hoping there are no casualties, this is terrible.

Fingers crossed that there's no casualties.

I blame closed hard border policy !!

thoughts and prayers with the people affected by this tragedy

oh shit, this is terrible
