Bizarre situation in Canberra concerning a 20% fee increase at one of its most expensive & exclusive private schools. While public schools are financially strapped, Radford parents are crying foul - they’ve chosen the elite school because it’s ‘humble’. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/910626...

Australia’s retirement system assumes seniors are homeowners. Suggesting forever renters need to suck it up and accept their fate is heartbreaking. Political elite have given up on a big chunk of Aussies. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

What an absolute disgrace. Shame on ANU.

“incredibly stupid”, “absolutely disgraceful”… Despite ANU’s own socially responsible investment policy, the university invested in and profited from Elbit systems shares - “a key enabler of the Israel Defense Forces in its commission of war crimes”. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Let us end this carnival of cruelty, rehabilitate and rehome the horses, and stop the corrosive influence of gambling donations on our politics by banning them outright.

Things keep going from bad to worse for horses in the racing industry yet the media, politicians and their mates in toxic gambling companies continue to pretend everything is okay. This is a stain on our nation.

More retirees, more intended retirees, average age at intended retirement increases, government pension remains dominant source of income for retirees. Population ageing well and truly coming to bear in latest ABS publication. www.abs.gov.au/statistics/l...

Neatly defined arbitrary generations fail to capture these social delineations. Housing prices have seen many 40-somethings miss out on homeownership, unless they’re lucky (rich or connected). We’re talking families in lifelong insecurity. This isn’t being addressed.

Australia’s housing crisis - yes, it’s a crisis - has been brewing since the 1950s. It’s not new. Anyone telling you we’re not going to have generations of families in precarious housing is privileged AF. Devastating consequences. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

ANU appears to be in continual breach of FOI requirements to publish documents on its website. Right to Know is being relied on by the University, possibly to circumvent access to vital information, in potential breach of the law. www.anu.edu.au/freedom-of-i...

Health inequalities by ethnicity exist in Australia, but data typically used to examine such things - e.g. country of birth - tends to hide disparities. Here my colleagues and I explore this issue and highlight the need for richer ethnicity data. ijpds.org/article/view...

I welcome this ⁦‪from the minister‬⁩, but the unwillingness of uni governing bodies and senior officials to do the right thing is proven. A major shift is needed and it starts with dismantling the assumption that people at the top will do the right thing. ministers.education.gov.au/clare/improv...

Unless there’s a reset of senior officials at the top, universities won’t change. Toxic cultures are embedded. Broken governance is breaking people. theconversation.com/there-are-ne...

When on earth did informing people of counter-information become 'censorship'? This accusation seems a relatively new propaganda tactic, previously those corrected used to just dismiss government releases as propaganda. 'Censorship' framing seems a product of an era of 'cancel culture' accusations.

WTF is wrong with people?! The ABS were doing their job, providing evidence and responding to mis/disinformation. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I'm all in on the best goals of urbanism, but I don't love this quote. People are fat for many, many reasons. The "obesity epidemic" feeds monstrous profits to the diet industry. Meanwhile, fat hatred kills, including bad service from health care professionals and the harm from weight swings.

Powerful and privileged being shit. Again. Plebs have no hope. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
