Shame on the Minns Labor government.

Earlier this week, Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social introduced a bill to the Senate that’d force universities to divest from fossil fuels, weapons, and gambling.
This is what some of us who have been campaigning on this issue think at Monash, UQ, and UniMelb.

Today our End Dirty Uni Partnerships Bill will be debated in the Senate.
The bill comes at a pertinent time—climate crisis escalates, fossil fuel companies record mammoth profits, and weapons manufacturers pocket billions while people are slaughtered in their thousands by their war machines.

We need to talk about Sudan.
After more than 18 months of an inhumane siege and starvation in El Fasher, the RSF militia are committing mass killings of civilians on an unimaginable scale.
