Each day the upper management of different unis seemingly find new ways to disappoint those of us working at universities. I love what I do, it breaks my heart what's been allowed to happen to unis in recent decades. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10... Robodebt for university academic integrity? WT!

It’s taken 10 years, blown out by hundreds of millions of dollars, and is still nowhere near becoming operational. Now there are calls for the Darwin ship lift project to be scrapped.

Today the Tas Govt officially binned the Planning Commission’s damning report into the proposed Mac Pt AFL stadium. But if the knuckleheads actually knew anything about ‘future prosperity’, they’d be focussed instead on essential infrastructure and services #auspol #politas

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way.

But of course Rockliff will ignore ALL the reports.
He will do it anyway.

I don't see how we can stop him.
Labor will back him all the way, even though this report gives them the PERFECT excuse to back out.

We are a truly failed state. A foolish captain puncturing holes in an already sinking ship.
