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

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.
