Australia’s university vice-chancellors are among the highest-paid in the world. But do their generous salaries translate into good student outcomes? 🤔
The data shows, nope.

Think the past will protect Australia from Trump’s future? Think again
One of the very few things about our relationship with the US that actually makes us safer is collapsing in real time. We need answers, and quickly.

Trump supporters are already spinning excuses for why he can’t lower egg prices. Their mental gymnastics to defend his broken promises are wild. It’ll be fascinating—and tragic—to see how far they’ll go, even justifying starving to death for him. Cult loyalty knows no bounds.
Eggs may be expensive forever

The loyalty some officers show to Trump after he pardoned Jan 6 rioters is baffling. Do they forget the officers who were beaten and crushed that day? He calls the attackers ‘heroes,’ yet you idolize him. How much disregard will it take for you to see his true colors?

Firefighters can see that human-induced climate change is making fire seasons longer and more intense. Cam Walker argues that we all have to counter the right-wing conspiracy misinformation campaign.
