I’m speaking Accords, past and present, at this in two weeks time with Frank Bongiorno and Alison Barnes. Thanks to Jon Piccini for convening the discussion 📣

Important to see some movement on #studentdebt today. Universities need to be accessible, not a debt sentence.

Jason Clare MP, let's see real action in next week's budget to make our universities fairer for staff and students.

What do you think? #auspol #Accord #Budget2024

Great start to the Brisbane Labour Day march!

The NTEU strongly endorses this joint statement from our global union federation Education International and the Global Student Forum on peaceful protests at universities.

The Global Student Forum and Education International stand in solidarity with university students and staff engaging in peaceful protests in support of the Palestinian people and against Israel’s war in Gaza, on campuses around the world.

A great step forward - congratulations to NUS who have campaigned tirelessly to draw attention to this issue, and NTEU members who added their voice. Will make a real difference for students impacted by indexation as outlined in our student debt report.

Indeed. Lyndall, her sister Julia, their mother Edna, all women of extraordinary achievement in their lives. A great sadness that none remain to make further contributions.

funny how often VCs like to claim they have so much responsibility and the only way to deal with that is rolling in banknotes. But when it comes to *actually taking that responsibility* everything is out of their hands... 🙄 'outside forces' 'sector-wide issues' etc.

RMIT VC on $1mio while staff are still waiting (3 years!!!!) to get a new EB with a decent pay offer!! Majority of university chiefs in Victoria earn over $1m despite budget woes | Victoria | The Guardian theguardian.com/australia-news…

More 'unintentional' wages stolen from insecure workers at Swinburne. At the same time the Vice-Chancellor takes home a whopping $1.05mil salary. Does this seem fair?

Jason Clare MP it's time to stem big business' influence on our university councils.

Congratulations, Millan! A VERY worthy recipient indeed. ANU is better for your advocacy. ✊

We had NTEU members and students turn out in force again today and yesterday at Federation University’s campuses in Ballarat and Gippsland! We’re standing up to a rogue management to oppose the cuts that threaten not just our jobs and courses but our university’s future 💜💜💜

International student Ramesh speaks about management ignoring the student body with its proposed staff cuts. Students have a lot invested in Fed uni and they should not be ignored

“There’s no question that aid workers have been targeted with deadly force. More than 200 have been killed, including five employees of APHEDA’s longstanding partner in Gaza the MA’AN Development Center.” KateLee
