It would be nice if it were true. Employers DO NOT automatically transfer extra money they get from higher productivity to workers. In fact they have been keeping most of it for decades now.

The mass killing of civilians, targeting of homes and vital infrastructure, obstruction of food and aid, starvation as a weapon, and the forced displacement of millions. This is genocide. The UK has a legal, political and moral responsibly to act. Silence and inaction amounts…

‘People at the top of the university also point out that the critics of change rarely come up with their own proposals to save the hundreds of millions of dollars the ANU needs to save.’ BS we’ve been clear what needs to happen from a governance pov canberratimes.com.au/story/9023672/…

"We question the wisdom of undermining the university's one dedicated teaching and research program in gender and feminist studies." The opposition to @ourANU job cuts is overwhelming. Well done on speaking out. ✊ @NTEUnion canberratimes.com.au/story/9021906/…

Another governance horror story at a public university. We need urgent reform to end bad governance for good. Join our campaign: betterunis.nteu.au

Strong statement from @HistoryNSW on cuts at @ourANU. @NTEUnion concerns go beyond the job losses themselves, but to the important schools, centres and areas to be cut which will be severely diminished, or which we simply won't get back again. historycouncilnsw.org.au/anu-restructur…

Yesterday, we saw staff, students, and the broader community come together to say no more @ourANU job cuts, and no more Renew ANU. Not yet a union member? Join @NTEUnion at nteu.au/join. ✊

This rally, and the CASS People's Town Hall, were excellent today. Both showed the best of @ourANU.

The @NTEUnion’s new report reveals toxic cultures on uni senates and councils. The governance system is broken and that’s enabled insecure work, wage theft and executive excess to flourish while ignoring the voices of staff and students. au.news.yahoo.com/staff-accuse-u…

‘…I have not seen such a lack of vision, such a vacuum of ideas, such general disorganisation, nor such cavalier decision-making about institutions and programs built up through hard work over decades’ - @fbongiornoanu (national treasure) on ANU cuts canberratimes.com.au/story/9015168/…

“Governments, regulators and university leaders must act now to restore transparency, accountability, and trust in our higher education system.” NTEU National President @AlisonBarnes25 Read the full report: nteu.info/bellcurve

These are the devastating consequences of SCU’s reckless pursuit of profits over quality education and training. Staff, students and society pay - all because of the dire lack of accountability in university governance. abc.net.au/news/2025-07-0…

Wouldn't it be great if the @ourANU sackings and cost cutting started at the top?

Julie Bishop's huge ANU expense bill exposed…while staff are losing their livelihoods. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

A reading of the proposed staff cuts in the ANU CASS confirms my impression that they are likely to affect women's academic employment most severely. Not only are many positions being cut at Levels B and C, some more senior positions being cut are also held by women.

When you think it can’t keep getting worse, ANU proved it can, again and again. What a national disgrace.

The governance crisis at ANU is a national scandal. Julie Bishop must go. We need sector-wide reform. afr.com/politics/feder…
