According to some observers, the ‘hottest topic’ for 2025 is whether universities have lost the public’s support to operate.

The problem, or a problem, is that tax payers see these stories and assume universities are flush with cash. Yet Uni Canberra is going through a massive restructure. Who suffers most? Early career academics and professional staff. They’re not given a golden parachute. 🪂
Bill Shorten’s salary as new VC at University of Canberra, a middle-sized regional uni, is much more than that of the Prime Minister. These obscene salaries for uni VCs must be pulled down to earth. Our top uni executives must be focussed education, not personal profit. #auspol

Universities in Australia have undergone a seismic shift, moving from public institutions dedicated to knowledge and community to entities run increasingly as private businesses. Central to this change is the rise of the vice chancellor as a highly paid executive figure.

People working in the music sector will lose almost a quarter of their income to artificial intelligence within the next four years, according to the first global economic study examining the impact of the emerging technology on human creativity.
Those working in the audiovisual sector will also see their income shrink by more than 20% as the market for generative AI grows from €3bn (A$4.9bn) annually to a predicted €64bn by 2028.

A dominant theme of the hastily written submissions to the federal government’s one-day review of its social-media ban bill is that the process is far too rushed to consider its wide-ranging effects on all Australians.
A year from now, every Australian logging on to Facebook, Instagram or TikTok may be confronted with a prompt that the company is requiring you to prove your age.
