@theprojecttv @Lisa_Wilkinson If you hold the highest political office in the country, and you are a white male, you are not the victim of the culture. You are the culture.

@fbongiornoanu New Australia to start fighting among themselves and lose heart by halftime.

Peter Woodley and Geoff Mann on Peter's great @ANU_Press book "We are a Farming Class" at Dubbo Library. Social Sciences Editorial Committee is proud of its association with this book.

As the only university covered by fed law, why can’t we see a similar intervention at ANU?

I hear constantly from staff about the huge toll from the almost year long shambolic process of cuts at the ANU.

We need an immediate pause to forced redundancies.

This is another triumph for the ANU's Australian National Dictionary Centre. So proud and admiring of Amanda Laugesen's achievements as a scholar. You can read about the ANU's plans to destroy the Centre and make its staff redundant here: https://t.co/7c31Vy6lA3

Sometimes it takes an act of extraordinary courage to expose and bring down those who rule through fear and intimidation. I hope @NTEUnion member Liz Allen's brave and harrowing testimony today is the start of such a process. https://t.co/ZV4hmf6h82 via @ABCaustralia

#freedc I returned from the wedding of our daughter to find the city where I have lived for the last 3 years in the midst of a military takeover.

The military policing Americans.

This is a danger for everyone in our country. Now is the moment to turn out in protest.

@farrm51 And they’d have exactly the same view if Labor or the Greens were to be as incompetent 🤔

@fbongiornoanu @Joshua_Black97 @ConversationEDU Thank you Frank and Josh for a remarkably balanced and gentle take on a book I never intend to read.

Having a pint where Hawkey smashed the world record. Makes you proud.

The National Army Museum in London recognises the frontier wars (green panel on the right). It’s not that hard.
