Putting the Grrrrrr back in Governance.....thanks @TonySheldonNSW

[Senator Tony Sheldon @TonySheldonNSW]

Nothing says ‘good governance’ like your Vice-Chancellor juggling roles with the consultancy cutting your own staff while the university insists he’s on leave. A real masterclass in honesty from UOW.

This is exactly why I’m chairing the Albanese Government’s inquiry into university governance—Australians deserve answers.

If you want to support literature in Australia but can’t buy books during this economic crisis, don’t forget libraries. Buying is always better for author and industry, but we also get paid when books are borrowed. (Last year I got enough library royalties for 4 mths rent 😮😭👏🏾)
