It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

Minns knows this is untrue. NSW Police do not need more powers, they need to stop providing police protection to Nazis. Same applies to Victoria Police.

No trust deed. Billions of tax dollars to be spent without oversight by Nauru - Michael West
