I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a lawn appreciator. Look at the work from the ANU groundskeepers on this! It was a massive muddy puddle two or three years ago. Bravo

Trying to work out if Prevost is liberal or conservative. Here are his positions on various catholic contentious issues.

Adam Ramey did an ideal point analysis but didn’t include Prevost, presumably because too many of his positions are missing.

Would hate to be the guy taking this photo. Did he have to stand in the middle of a trading floor shaking his camera violently? You’d have to have a thick skin I’d reckon.

Remember to check your Enterprise Agreement. In the case of the ANU, academics are specifically protected against adverse action by your employer for speaking up about the administration of the institution.

This is a Good Thing. It would be better if non-academic staff could do the same.

Not a Latin speaker and a niche point but I don't think 'Honor Omnia' means 'honour above all', it just means 'honour everything'.
