Hey
@VirginAustralia
my daughter is stuck in MKY as they as they refused boarding as "unaccompanied minors take too long". They were delayed but still made check in time. How do we get her home?
@BretlynB Some unis (including mine) are already above cap. Without backing his rhetoric up domestic growth is going to drag a lot of the sector down, not up
@BretlynB Still wrapping head around how bad this is for regional unis. Gov said aim to shift from metro & get back to pre-pandemic levels but regionals down ~5800 places from '19 (based on artificially low MD107 impacted '23 levels) so will have opposite effect to gov's stated aims
@Andy_Hazel We go to Woodford most years explicitly because it is a family-friendly way to get our festival fix. Big enough to escape for respite if needed and there is even a children's festival part of it. NYE is the only really boozy night with different crowd mix from all other days
@franklinleonard We lived in the US for first year of our daughter's life & when we took her to kid's beginner swim lessons at 3mo they thought we were crazy & didnt know what ro do (next youngest was 4yo). We took her when we moved back to Oz & she was one of oldest in beginner class at 14mo.
Doesnt have to disappear. In our house we still call music "nubip", mangoes "fanangoes"; elephants "oshleks" and talk about how we're "cement to" do things.
When your 2-year-old starts correctly pronouncing a word sheโs been adorably mispronouncing her whole life and you realize that little nonsense word is gone forever
@fullregard2009 @GunnerTas It is actually one of the proposals being put forward for Lismore's post-flood rebuild and making it more resilient https://t.co/oPYCpTRZYr
@beneltham It honestly beggars belief. It is arguably the strongest diplomatic soft power tool Oz has. Russia and China are actively jumping into the vacuum Oz, UK, Canada are creating (e.g. China offering 200+ PhDs to every Pacific country to create pro-China graduates but Oz won't gov 1)
Iโm honoured to share that our team at @SCUonline has been awarded $3.8m from the MRFF to research a world first stepped-care, #MDMA-assisted-therapy trial for #PTSD in a disaster context. It will be the largest #psychedelic clinical trial in #Australia.
More importantly...

@Pollytics Not only that, but State governments *charge* universities (and therefore indirectly the students) hundreds of dollars per day per student trainee in health placements
