Australian universities have been abandoned by the government and are facing huge losses. You can read my piece on how financialisation helped cause this mess at @OverlandJournal.

Autonomy, including financial autonomy, is essential if our universities are to operate as critics and conscience of society. COVID-19 has bleakly exposed the inadequacy of their dominant corporatised, profit-driven governance model, writes @lyndang. https://t.co/vfuvGDSKtS

Chevron’s income selling Australian gas last year was $33 BILLION.

They got virtually all the gas for free (didn’t pay royalties), and paid $0 PRRT

Now they’re cutting jobs

The #USElection2024 is a timely reminder that for all its faults, Australian democracy is a model for the world.
➡️ Independently administered elections
➡️ Voters can list their true preferences without throwing away their vote
➡️ Compulsory voting ensures all voices are heard.

Descendants of the Northern Territory Stolen Generations who won a $50.45 million class action settlement are angry to discover some will receive just a few thousand dollars each, or nothing at all. https://t.co/zO7dOCJGQB

Devastating, short-sighted and shamefully irresponsible announcement by @UOW management today of 135 proposed sackings, including whole teaching departments such as history. All the while the VC is a partner in a consultancy firm reviewing the university’s operations. @NTEUnion

Love how they're trying to sell this as a big win. Students are still paying 80% more for uni than Albanese's generation did.
