Expedia is a flawed communications platform. It is possibly highly effective at booking flights and taking money, but when there is a problem, it doesnt allow for communications between customer and business end. #travelfail @ExpediaHelp @ExpediaGroup @expedia_au

[Bunty @avieson]

Bring back the travel agent! It is exhausting dealing with the Expedia platform. If you have a problem you cant ring or visit them, you can only use virtual chat for an AI response or message them through twitter, FB etc. #lessonlearned @Expedia @ExpediaGroup @expedia_au

Thrilled to have my fake news historical research in print in the first edition of SLNSW's stunning 'open book' publication.

@olgarithmic That's ridiculous and disgraceful. As if mental health first aid couldn't be delivered online. Excuse for laziness.

[MargaretVanHeekeren @MAVanHee]

@MichaelSocolow Fabulous news! Congratulations 🎊

A brighter note for journalism education today thanks to @JN_Institute The Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas (JNI) will partner with @JERAA on a special Constructive Journalism reporting project for 2020. For details https://t.co/8wir5lei3T

[JERAA @JERAAus]

As if the journalism industry didn’t have enough to contend with right now. Please @DanTehanWannon can you reconsider this for the sake of every news desert out there

Opposed to the Oz University fees hike, which targets Humanities and Arts? Please sign and share this important petition: https://t.co/PdQ4qAdj12 via @MegaphoneAU

Melbourne University's German Studies department has existed for over 50 years in the Faculty of Arts where @DanTehanWannon did his BA. He could have learnt German for free. So it wasn't the system that prevented him from learning a language. He had a choice #HumanitiesMatter

[Kim Carr @SenKimCarr]

The point of HECS was always fairness - you repay if you earn more. Saddling humanities graduates with a law graduate’s debt betrays that compact and betrays Aussie students. Shame.

"I want to live in a society that has an economy, not the other way round. Not an economy that happens to have a society!"

@deborahcheetham says hiking up costs of some arts degrees makes it "impossible to conceive" of an industry going forward. Do you agree? #TheDrum

[MargaretVanHeekeren @MAVanHee]

What if there was a one day strike of every worker who has a humanities degree?

This is the most revealing Tweet I’ve read today - thank you @garethjbryant

[Anna Clark @annahopeclark]

So Australian history is important enough to be mandated in the National Curriculum (by govt), but uni students are now being effectively discouraged from studying it (by same govt)? You can't have it both ways.
