Movies at Macquarie
Identity Thief
Rated MA15+
Identity Thief is a 2013 American crime comedy film directed by Seth Gordon.
The film tells the story of a regular guy Sandy (played by Jason Bateman), who has his identity stolen
by a woman and is forced to go to extreme measures to clear his name. The deceptively harmless
looking woman (played by Melissa Mccarthy) is living it up under the mild-mannered businessman’s
name. Sandy discovers just how crazed you can get trying to settle the score.
After the movie
Allan Watt will explain how easy it is to steal someone’s identity with modern technology. Social
media platforms like Facebook fuel thieves with an unprecedented amount of information, many
users forget what they put up over time and anyone following their posts can rebuild their life and
take their identity. Other professional sites such as Linkedin are even more dangerous. Too much
information in the wrong hands can be costly to the naive.

problems (integrating social-learning, cognitive, structural, and attachment accounts)

A bequest can help secure the future
The gift of a bequest to the University doesn’t require an immediate financial outlay. It can be taken
into consideration – along with gifts for family and other causes – when people make their estate
plans.
If you would like to have a confidential discussion about making a bequest to Macquarie University,
contact Anne Peedom on (02) 9850 1392 or anne.peedom@mq.edu.au
Transport
We encourage visitors to use sustainable transport options wherever possible. With a train station
on campus and buses running from many areas of the city, it has never been easier to use public
transport to visit the university.
If you wish to drive, parking is available at various locations on site. Parking fees apply and tickets
can be purchased from machines in car parks (accepts gold coins and credit cards only).
You can find more information about the various transport options available as well as campus maps
and car parking at mq.edu.au/transport
