## History

Empire Times' Masthead in 2023

*Empire Times* was founded as the student newspaper of Flinders University in 1969 by [Martin Fabinyi](/source/Martin_Fabinyi) (initially priced at 15 cents[1]) and continued in publication until 2006,[2] published by the [Flinders University Student Association](/source/Flinders_University_Student_Association). It ceased publication in 2006 as a result of [voluntary student unionism](/source/Voluntary_student_unionism).[3]

In 2004, edition 36 special woman's edition, called "*Fempire Times*", was accidentally printed as edition 37. This resulted in the 2005 edition being listed as 38.[4]

Between 2007 and 2012, a student publication called *The Libertine* filled the void left from ceased production of *Empire Times*.[5][6][7]

Publication of *Empire Times* resumed in 2013 with the reintroduction of [SSAF](/source/Tertiary_education_fees_in_Australia).[8][9]
