The thought of the Coalition deciding which universities are good and worthy of support vs those which are bad is terrifying for staff in the sector and has horrendous implications for future students.

Very concerning that postgraduate reseach students are more likely to be sexually harassed by a university staff member they know... Not ScoMo never to late to make a commitment to change.

Shout out to Kim Carr for his contributions to Australian Higher Education and research over many years. There will always be those with opposing views, but it is fair to say the senate will be at a loss without your presence. #auspol

If they’re serious about “the future”, “the threats we face”, people’s “aspirations” then repair the damage done to universities and fund #highereducation in #Budget2022

Postgrads left out in the cold, again. Did not see anything that improve quality of education. New PhD programs always welcome, but nothing to help current students that struggled through the pandemic. #Budget2022 #auspol

The Morrison Govt fuelled the higher education disaster by excluding public unis from JobKeeper, hiking student fees and entrenching the over-reliance on insecure work. To stick the boot in, they then slashed real university funding per student in the latest budget. #auspol

The next federal government can save universities, make undergraduate education free for all Australians and employ tens of thousands of staff securely by lifting the public spend on higher education to just one per cent of GDP, according to Centre for Future Work #auspol Herald Sun

Lovely to meet with representatives from CAPA for #ScienceMeetsParliament yesterday to discuss issues close to my heart - the importance of research & ensuring that researchers are adequately supported. PHD students deserve PPL & significantly higher stipends. #SMP2023

Chinese students have complained that they were misled about Australia, saying the “shocking” rise in cost of living is causing others to abandon their plans. news.com.au/finance/real-e…
