Why I Still Mask I still wear a mask. Not because I’m paranoid, not because I’m weak, but because I understand that the air we share carries risk. COVID-19 has not gone away. It’s still disabling people, it’s still taking lives, and it still spreads silently. Pretending

NTEU Victoria BIG WIN- our campaigning and lobbying has now resulted in a Vic parliamentary inquiry into university governance. If you’re not already a member, now’s the time to join nteu.au/join 👇NTEU

“This is a cynical tactic. The University of Newcastle has shown it would rather blow up negotiations and push disputes to the commission than engage constructively with staff seeking fair pay and conditions.” -NTEU General Secretary, Dr Damien Cahill NTEU New South Wales Damien Cahill

2nd new 🍛challenge delicious. Australia upside down 🐓 🥧 made GF Very 🤤 would be a good 🧺 pie. Easy to make & no 🤬 this time! 🤵‍♂️gives it 👍

For 2nd treat of the week tried Kim’s protein kitchen 🍋 bars. Healthy, not very sweet & 🤤 colour is not quite like in recipe but that is because of the protein powder I used. 🤵‍♂️says good with ☕️ treat

NTEU members at QUT are standing up together against 21 forced redundancies in the Faculty of Science. These are educators, researchers and professional staff bring science to life for thousands of students. Sign the petition 👉 nteu.info/sos-qut

Another short sighted response from a uni mgmt. Job cuts need to be the last resort not the first. 😡

Another ideologically driven mess the Queensland LNP have got us into. They have no idea how to conduct things. Queensland’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender patients has been overturned by the state Supreme Court. #qldpol theguardian.com/australia-news…

A great opportunity to benchmark psychosocial health across all universities is the Australian University Census on Staff Wellbeing. NTEU's Gabe Gooding (and 🐕🐕) explains why it's important, and how you can help. Complete the survey at nteu.info/census. ✊

One year ago today, ANU staff resoundingly defeated a proposed variation to the ANU Agreement. Union members led this campaign to defend better pay for all ANU staff. If you're not a member, we need you with us to take on more challenges, together. nteu.au/join

Spirits are high at #UTSstrike where NTEU members are taking industrial action for a fair enterprise agreement, against a highly corporatised university management intent on pushing through mass job cuts. ✊✊✊💜💜💜

"It is difficult to think of other circumstances where individuals can cause so much damage, to both people and institutions, and be so richly rewarded." - NTEU's Dr Lachlan Clohesy Where is ourANU Council accountability for this golden handshake? canberratimes.com.au/story/9119460/…

Sending 💜 & solidarity to UTS members fighting for a better workplace & no mass job cuts ✊

Another Uni mgmt working from the classic how to run your uni book series - book 1 confusion & book 2 chaos 💜✊ All power to NTEU UTS members for standing strong & fighting back. Together we can make a difference

This is such an important win. 🙏 to NTEU Monash casual members who stood strong & proud. It isn’t easy to stare down the bosses & keep standing.💜

The worst thing about the university governance crisis is that ourANU is not an outlier. The best thing about the university governance crisis is that it's come to light because NTEU members across the country have had enough & acted together. ✊ thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/education…

This week I adapted & sang ‘I believe’ by R.Kelly, 1996 (google.com/gasearch?q=i%2…) to the UQ Indigenous graduates as a gift. I have the privilege of witnessing incredible people start their studies, develop, succeed, graduate & become alumni. I know they can fly! #Classof2025

Well deserved recognition for Alison Barnes & NTEU members for ensuring uni senior mgmt governance failures & the negative impact this has on staff is recognised & acted upon ✊👏💜

😡 as NTEU members have repeatedly said & experienced there is a wide spread callousness to how senior mgmt treat staff especially during change processes. As we have said ANU & now UTS are just the beginning

I am lost for words. These staff have families, what sort of 🎄 will they have now. These are yet more of our deeply valued colleagues who did nothing wrong but do their job 😭😡
