Stuff university councils with business types, get statements akin to those of business types
It's baffling why the Go8 (a group of 8 leading universities in Australia) endorsed a position to weaken environmental laws. Not only do we, the researchers at these universities, disagree, but our research shows it is a bad idea. In just one day, 90 Go8 researchers documented our opposition.
We have no answers from our institutions as to why Go8 universities endorsed BCA's regressive EPBC recommendations
But 90 of us have signed an 'Independent statement on the Group of Eight’s position on EPBC Act reforms'
🙏 Prof Justine Bell-James for writing & coordinating the independent statement

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

Ethnic cleansing of Palestine while the #WickedWesternWorld lies by omission.

A UN resolution built on Trump’s Gaza plan promises a ceasefire, foreign peacekeepers & a new “board of peace” to govern Gaza. But with no real accountability for Israel & Palestinians sidelined, is this an end to the war or a blueprint for a new occupation?

The Take: Did the UN just outsource Israel’s occupation?
Trump’s Gaza plan just won UN backing. What Resolution 2803 means for Gaza, Palestinians and international law.
