The ABC article shows why the NSN are so insidious. Not just grooming at-risk young men but luring & entrapping women as young as 15 for the sole purpose of breeding. The dangers of groups like the NSN go beyond harassment & intimidation of minorities. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

The AHA strongly opposes Minister Jason Clare's call for the ARC to investigate Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's grant. Such political interference, which the Minister promised to end, undermines the integrity of the ARC and its independent, peer-review processes.

I’m heartbroken at the passing of the Michael Burawoy. Until last year, I only knew his tremendous corpus of scholarship—enough there to mourn—but in the last year I saw what an ally he was to the movement for Palestine. He was a great man. May we all have his moral clarity and bravery.
