Fully support the universities in this. But if they are genuinely committed to ensuring "free public access to the research...taxes had funded" maybe those that limit access to electronic copies of theses to current staff or students could open them up to the public.

For context, four Aussie banks took approximately $6.5 billion out of the Aotearoa economy in the last year or so
The majority of which was gleaned from mortgages on family homes
The economy is improving? Sweety, it's tanking, sinking, shitting itself sideways, and you're a big part of the reason

AUTHORS!!
Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?
Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.

The nurses on the picket line in Hamilton’s CBD just copped a barrage of abuse from a young man.
Their responses
“Is he ok”
“Is anyone with him”
“Poor fellow is really escalated”
“Is anyone here familiar with him?”
Just absolute empathy and no fear for thier own safety

I have been saying this for something like 15 years and I am so tired, folks: the tactics. Of the right. Don't work. For the left. Because their politics are divisive and anti-community. Ours aren't.
They win when politics is toxic and vicious. We win by building solidarity.

Maybe you could start talking about the evidenced policies that reduce the likelihood of this happening RNZ. Things like:
Guaranteeing all a living incomes
Taxing the wealthy more so more money can be given to things like fully funded healthcare
Rent control
Increasing home ownership
Pay equity
