“The deputy PM lacks the fundamentals for his ministerial portfolio. Dangerous ignorance after a full term of ministerial responsibility. This is no ordinary time for Australia to be dependent on impaired leadership” Marles needs to be more than the Pentagon’s concierge. #auspol #AUKUS

Universities are in trouble. But is Nous Group the answer? The business model of the consultant is sharp and sophisticated. They bought the sector 'benchmarking' data and use it to sell services. Griffith Uni even hired 4 exec staff from them. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

If this kind of corruption were occurring in any other sector, senior leaders would be held accountable. Why are higher education senior leaders and officials getting away with poor behaviour? www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

ABC News Breakfast hosts this morning are parroting News Corp's non-story about the PM - "Albanese yet to secure critical meeting". A manufactured narrative which just goes to show how deeply News Corp’s anti-Labor framing infects our public broadcaster. #auspol www.news.com.au/national/pol...

They are managing to both sides cops roughing up a United States Senator for California. This is "beat one, educate a million stuff." Who is gonna protest if Senator Padilla (a week after the leader of the biggest union in CA got days in custody) gets this treatment.
