Along with many others, I've found that X has stopped being a place of interesting ideas and respectful discourse. So I'm moving too. @alanamq.bsky.social ... happy to see people there.

Now is the time for our Palestinian activists to step up and speak out against this rife antisemitism in Australia. Regardless of the issues at play, or anyone's fight for justice, hate speech isn't ok, ever. @RandaAFattah #Gaza abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/n… via @ABCaustralia

Bills tabled! Jacqui Lambie and I are pushing to end the obscene salaries paid to university vice-chancellors and fat cat bureaucrats. We’ll drag them into parliament to interrogate them on why they think they should retain their million dollar salaries. #FatCats #auspol

Future proofing is fine; but ignoring the issues right now is a tragedy. Students deserve better and so do staff. @Macquarie_Uni #FundEducation @JasonClareMP

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

But he was interrupting? How is that ok? Question time was coming. Politics aside, if it was a free for all, Blinken wouldn’t have got one word out.

I was seriously manhandled but I'm back home... thanks for all support folks. My intention was to ask tough questions at every opportunity during the news conference which State personnel obviously cut short: * Was the point of the May 31 announcement to block implementation of the May 24 ICJ order? * Why do you refuse to recognize the Geneva conventions as applying to Gaza? * Everyone from Amnesty International to the ICC accuses Israel of extermination and genocide. Why are you not in the Hague? * Why was your step father Pisar connected to both Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein? * Miller here pretends not to know about the Hannibal directive - do you know about the Hannibal directive? * Why do you not even acknowledge Israel’s nuclear weapons? I have written about each of these subjects and will continue to do so via husseini.org

Saw in The Age today that private schools are asking for more government funding. In my area, Aquinas College in Ringwood has pristine new basketball courts, while Ringwood High, a public school, is left with rundown facilities. The inequality is striking.

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm. And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight euronews.com/travel/2024/12/…

Note that this group is representing Catholic Schools. Who benefit from funding. And fees. It's disingenuous to suggest our school funding is in any way equitable, and that public schools aren't suffering from limited capacity and resourcing. @JasonClareMP @pruecar @NSWEducation

Not only do VC's earn an extraordinary amount, ours has his fancy accommodation supplied (as well as a personal driver). Please disabuse me of this notion if it's incorrect @Macquarie_Uni ? What are these legacy 80s perks? And why aren't they being challenged?

The perverse corporate priorities of an unaccountable and obscenely remunerated senior executive class is eroding our great public unis and driving uni staff job cuts. A public inquiry is urgently needed. ⁦@NTEUnion⁩ theguardian.com/australia-ne…

More than 300 Australian university executives make more money than state premiers, report reveals

Union says average vice-chancellor gets paid almost double the prime minister, with salaries seemingly ‘plucked from thin air’

Vice-chancellors who used the proposed caps as a smokescreen to threaten jobs must now abandon their terrible plans and apologise to the staff whose livelihoods were used as a political football.

The government giving a one-off, 20% cut to HECS debts is all well and good, but it’s short-termism at best; a pre-election cash splash at worst … Why aren’t they doing anything about $50,000 arts degrees? afr.com/work-and-careers/edu…

Why do arts students pay more than medical students?

Australia’s university sector will mark an expensive milestone with the $50,000 arts degree, but the changes might not be helping students or the economy.
