We were very pleased to get the news today that the Australian National Dictionary Centre will be saved, thanks to an anonymous donation and the halt on involuntary redundancies under the Renew ANU plan. We thank everyone for their generous support through these difficult times.

Just a reminder that when parties do this if you send anything back in the prepaid envelope you double the cost of the mail out AND waste party office time opening envelopes @cameronwilson.bsky.social #auspol
Each election, both major parties mislead Australians with faux postal vote registration forms that look like official, non-partisan websites and letters but are actually for data harvesting.
The AEC hates it. Voters hate it. They should stop this shit www.crikey.com.au/20...
