I just signed @TheAusInstitute's petition: Reject Australia's Biggest Fossil Fuel Project! Will you join me? nb.australiainstitute.org.au…
The Coalition policy to dump clean vehicles isn’t about protecting Australian families from a “tax”. It’s about protecting lazy greedy carmakers which have been slow to move on efficient or electric vehicles from fines for disregarding the health and well-being of Australians.
Great to hear Peter Greste and Richard Roxburgh in threats to independent journalism and changes in world media landscape.
At launch screening of The Correspondent, the Peter Greste story, with Q&A, at Luna Leederville. Fabulous, gritty movie about tough work of journalism in danger. Journalists are under threat throughout the world.

Universities are places of excellence, knowledge, expertise. Why are executives paying $735M for consultants? Consultants with nepotistic links doing fuck all. Do universities seriously not have the expertise within their ranks to do the necessary work?! drive.google.com/file/d/1otD…
ALT Consultant spending by university
And yet people wonder why we (sometimes?) get such carpetbaggers for senior uni positions, with such twisted priorities! Unis are seen primarily as money-making entities, and only secondarily as places of learning and research. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Big thanks to the Australian Embassy, host universities, and host organisations—your support makes it all possible.
Stay tuned for updates as we gear up for ACICIS’s 30th anniversary. Here's to building more connections and future leaders!

Day 7
About 400kW of solar panels and a climate controlled shed full of battery storage, and yet not a single #EV charger (except for basic power points) at #BarklyHomestead #NorthernTerritory.
At 447km between #Threeways and #Camooweal, this represents the most pressing site for a @TeslaCharging destination charger and a long promised @NRMA off-grid #FastDC charger.

The Australian ALP government is expanding the Abbot LNPs government's very successful New Colombo Plan to extend Australia’s engagement with Indonesia and region. But its outcomes are hampered by the serious drop in Asian language education - @wing_kuang thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news…
Lovely ABC News item on WA family driving caravan & EV around Australia. Part of the current upsurge in EVs circumnavigating the continent, with zero tailpipe emissions! @climatecouncil @AEVA_National @Bowenchris @bradpettitt youtu.be/ffXpioXlcd8?si=S6EN…

Good to see this campaign kick off. Gotta get a few more Australian uni students learning languages.
Annual enrolments in languages by domestic students at Australian universities have declined by 40% since 2013.
MEDIA RELEASE: New national campaign launched to boost study of languages among Australian university students: acicis.edu.au/wp-content/upl….

CD Dodd have taken delivery of their first #EV #truck in Western Australia. A @VolvoGroup FH Electric. GVM 44 Tonnes, 300Km range. #EV #trucking #Australia
Update on 1st circumnavigation of Australia by a purely electric truck. Why truck fossil fuels around the country when solar power is available everywhere? Need to raise awareness of dangers of fossil fuel use. @Bowenchris @abcnews @SBSNews @bradpettitt youtu.be/49N5HZD8oKw?si=XlQP…
This an extremely important film in exposing a long-ignored aspect of Indonesia's dark post-1965 history. If you are in Perth, do try to see it. @IndonesiaAust @aiya_national

Fortunately the event was followed by the two-day 41st Indonesia Update held by the @ANUIndonesiaProject. It was great to hear from all the speakers, including ACICIS alumni @EveWarburton (Sem 19/2004) and Simon Butt (Sem 1/1995).

ACICIS recently had the opportunity to attend the @NewColomboPlan 10th Anniversary Event in Canberra. It was great to catch up with member university study abroad staff, academics and NCP alumni, and to hear from @TimWatts (Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs of Australia).

A major new report finds the Coalition’s #nuclear plan would add $665 to the average household’s annual electricity bill, while a family of four would pay nearly $1,000 more a year #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/affordab…
