How did Australian universities go from free education to $50,000 arts degrees in 50 years?
Thanks to the Job Ready Graduates scheme, an arts degree today will cost over $50,000. How have five decades of government policy taken us from free education to this?

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.

Why. How can they do this!
I'm so sorry to hear this. It's against commonsense, medical knowledge, the wishes of children, parents and specialised doctors who deal carefully with complex situations. It's just discrimination by Qld conservatives of very little brain who'd rather ban something than try to understand it.
