I was proud to represent the Australian Historical Association (with VP Kate Fullagar) at last week's Senate inquiry about Job-Ready Graduates. One third of our federal representatives have BA degrees, yet JRG enforces a myth that these degrees are not 'job-ready':

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

The failed Job ready Graduates Scheme has now been in operation for longer under the Albanese Govt than under the Morrison Govt.

Tens of thousands of students in commerce, law, art & humanities have racked up crushing debts that will take decades to repay. This is stopping many young people from building the lives they aspire to.

The case for reform is urgent & can't keep being kicked down the road.

Australians’ growing disenchantment with universities has occurred against a backdrop of fading trust in many types of institution, with governments and schools arguably faring worse. https://t.co/3ZqKaVOXyG

The UN General Assembly has adopted a Ghana-led resolution recognising transatlantic slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity,” passing despite opposition from the US, Israel, Argentina, and European countries.

At a time of global turmoil and great challenge, we look for signs of hope in the everyday.

To Irish people and friends of Ireland everywhere, we wish you a very happy St Patrick’s Day!

Emma Johnston was a brilliant scientist, a talented vice chancellor, and a lovely person. She was generous enough to deliver the 2023 Fenner Lecture https://t.co/4MCC7EQdGe and chat about seas, science & sailing on my podcast https://t.co/GHhmCzvFjN A huge loss to the nation.

[Rob Brooks @Brooks_Rob]

Dear friend @DrEmmaLJohnston, beloved to so many, passed away on the 26th Dec. Here is a piece Kylie Walker & I published in @ConversationEDU. It only scratches the biofilm on this remarkable human, leader, scientist and friend.

Notice of the passing of the University of Melbourne Vice-Chancellor, Professor Emma Johnston AO https://t.co/GN6o6giU7W

[Jason Clare MP @JasonClareMP]

I am so shocked and sad to hear that Emma has passed away.

Emma Johnston was one of Australia’s biggest brains and nicest people.

Emma was also one of Australia’s new generation of university leaders and a real reformer.

My sincere condolences to her family and friends and the whole University of Melbourne community.
