“While outright climate denial is now rare in Australia, it's been replaced by rhetoric that seeks to downplay the impacts of climate change, slow the transition away from fossil fuels and spread doubt over renewables technology.”

Had a v interesting chat with the creator of this petition last weekend about fast fashion, emissions, sustainability and embracing the circular economy. Read it and sign! chng.it/27znRcLGLR

That’s great to hear. I’m still so shocked by this. The stories I’m hearing at the faculty level are bad too. No transparency or reasonable explanations for decision making and huge implications for impacted staff.

Unbelievable incompetence at UTS. I can’t believe it just keeps getting worse. Congrats to the Business School who did their own analysis and called them on their bullshit.

How is no one being held accountable for this cascade of poor decision making and general incompetence?

The NDIS Appeals Database, a project led by University of Queensland Law School students through its Pro Bono Centre, is now available for lawyers appealing decisions for people who have sought service or support through the NDIS www.qlsproctor.com.au/2025/09/new-...

I laughed out loud at this one.

Funny but not funny.

Amazing!!

This article is a reminder of how important it is to notice the early warning signs and speak out against fascism.

We can’t be complacent in Australia.

"We already struggle… to feel like we belong and like we have value. This is the last thing the autistic community needs to be dealing with"

As an ADHDer I’m in solidarity with the autistic community.

This ideologically driven “finding” by non-experts in the Trump administration is very dangerous

Good news…
Let’s hope there’s more philanthropy from those who can afford it.

Hard relate! It’s shocking.

Could we be having a shared nightmare? I’m still hoping he isn’t real. That someone with this level of incompetence is the president of the US is mind blowing. You couldn’t make this shit up.
