In The Age today. If you can't get the editorial parts of the paper to acknowledge this reality, at least you can buy an ad.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

The White House backing away from its freeze on federal grants is a flat out win. As @choosedemocracy.bsky.social wrote in its email blast today: "It doesn't mean we will win every fight. But it does mean that anyone who is telling you it's hopeless is wrong."

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

Both parties have fostered a mentality where public ed should be your last "choice"- a hole-riddled safety net for the undeserving. THere's no sense in Australia of pub ed being a public good, being a place to build social cohesion, to give opportunities to all. That's why nobody fights for it.

Lidia Thorpe shows real integrity in standing up to Hanson. It's not up to us to police how she chooses to do it. If anything Thorpe is showing restraint. If she was fully communicating the harm experienced by First Nations people, Hanson would be flat on her back. The suspension is an outrage.
