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. I was reminded that exactly 1 year ago my whole family also marched for Gaza. This shit has gone on for too long #StopTheGenocide

Great to catch up with fellow editors from the Journal of Business Ethics editorial board yesterday — always energising to be in such brilliant company. Looking forward to the official start of #AOM2025 in Copenhagen today. Looking forward to all the inspiring sessions! @aomsim.bsky.social #SIM #CMS

Trump is not only in damage control, but truly panicking. In an attempt to divert attention, Obama now tried to steal election in 2016, while lots of MLK files were released earlier this week. Trump’s bureaucrats are scrambling to make a deal with Ghislaine Maxwell. Is this the beginning of the end?

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

An inexcusable synagogue attack. Yet the hypocrisy of @australianlabor.bsky.social is stunning. Antisemitism sucks, but over 2 million Palestinians are stuck in 1/35 the size of greater Sydney (reduced to rubble), and well over 50,000 have been murdered. The silence of Aus govt on Gaza is deafening.

Dr al-Najjar left her 10 children at home on May 23 when she went to work in an emergency room in southern Gaza.

Later in the day, the bodies of seven of her children arrived at the hospital.

They were murdered in an Israeli airstrike on her family's home.

🚨 New Article Alert 🚨
Publication in the Journal of Industrial Relations: "Australia's Right to Disconnect from Work: Beyond Rhetoric and Towards Implementation."

Key takeaway: Success relies on industry-specific contexts, workplace culture, and clear policies.
