Six universities are looking to cut around 1,500 jobs. Millions of dollars have been spent on external consultants, who get to shape the future of public higher education in Australia - and with what accountability? Universities are a public good, education is not a product. #auspol #highered

Today my partner @gpb82.bsky.social took our kids to the Palestine protest in Sydney. I protested with fellow academics at @aomconnect.bsky.social in Copenhagen #AoM2025.

On 10 July 1985, French secret agents bombed Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior in Aotearoa, killing photographer Fernando Pereira. France denied involvement until the two agents were caught by NZ police. Though sentenced, they were quickly returned to France and released. #RIP #CantSinkARainbow
