So first the Albo government opened the gates and encouraged everyone to move here.
Than we’re shocked that nobody could find somewhere to live ( so out of touch).

Apologise ( hard to find on google but they did admit they got it completely wrong).
Australian university’s now midway through their business plan under Albo find the “ cash cow” overseas students dry up are left the only real option to stay finically viable.

Sack staff.

So now Albo plan is to give away Degress at bargain prices ( plus you get a free set of steak knives) therefore totally undermines the cost of the education tens of thousands have paid to hold the same piece of paper?

Seems fair if you think about it?

No. It is not. You just need to have your name marked off on the electoral roll. After that, people don't care if you walk out the door with the ballot paper, unmarked.

Not quite.  You are not allowed to exit a polling booth with a ballot paper this prevents the "Dodge" being enacted.  You are correct that all you need is your name marked off the electoral roll to indicate your attendance during an election.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

Universities , with very few exceptions, are despicable hothouses of ideological conformity and self-serving finkery. When the VCs of PUBLICLY funded non-profit educational institutions make 3- 4 times as much as their top professors or the PM, you know you are dealing with self-serving spivs and sellouts.

We have had this discussion before. Theoretically, you would be correct. Realistically, you have not much of a clue.

As a 17 y.o., I walked into my high school to vote in the Federal Election. Having marked off my attendance, I was a little confused how the voting process worked. It took me 30 minutes of "heavy thinking" a 700mL bottle of bourbon before I could stagger over to the boxes and put the paper aeroplane ballot paper into the right bin... from 7 metres away.

Emmaus College was only a couple klicks walk from my parents' place. Guess who sobered up inside 3 hours with 2 litres of water consumed and a school bag full of toilet paper? I was showered and ready to vote again at Emmaus College.

All I needed was a phone book to choose a name of a nearby resident. I did not look like a Jack, as people knew my real name. So I chose the name John Cricket (*name changed to not dox the person) out of a 1995 era phone book. The real John was a retiree who could not be bothered voting anymore. He did not have to vote. But, since I looked like his drugged out nephew, Peter (*not his real name), it was only fitting that I could go and vote for him.

My girlfriend (pregnant at the time -- not that I knew it) supervised (aided and abetted) my orientation to the polling booth. She also assume the name "Carmen".

Person marking the role: *Peter, have you voted anywhere else today?
17 y.o. USR: .........no...
Pmtr: Have you been drinking today?
USR: I have just had a few bourbons last night and I am feeling a little hungover
Pmtr: Well, *Peter, you are 18 years old. But you should know better than to be drunk before an election. What would your father think?
USR: My father thinks I am pretty cool for someone turning 19 next month.

The volunteer marked off "Peter's" name and gave me another ballot form. I forgot to take off my sunglasses during the whole thing. I went over and voted again for the party of my choice.

Later, I walked over to a radio announcer's table and sang along with him. Eventually, my stomach was giving me enough trouble that I belched for 5 seconds, during the radio interview. Then I continued on about how Paul Keating was such a good bloke to be giving 17 y.o. people the right to vote in a democracy, even though no one really voted for Mr Keating in the first place.

I made the evening and late local news. People wanted me to be arrested for drunken and disorderly behaviour. Had they known what I did the weekend at the Glenmore school, I would have been convicted and gaoled.

My eldest daughter is only 18 years younger than me. I am so proud of her.

p.s. "Stay away from my bourbon!". No, not you Brian. The idiot from Gladstone.

Next week, I will teach you how to make an improvised explosive device using a discarded breathalyser and a bottle of tequila.

The trick is to have good aim with using a stinger missile and a palm tree to hide behind.

I have worked at numerous elections and what you did was illegal.  Before an election we are invariably given the same speech by the electoral officials about our responsibilities.  We are to mark the voters name off the electoral roll after asking if they had not voted before.  We hand them ballot papers and direct them to the voting booth.  We make sure that they do not try and exit from the ballot station with a valid unmarked ballot paper.  If they cause trouble we alert the electoral officials.  I have never had anybody cause trouble.  I have never witnessed anybody causing trouble.  You need to be 18 years of older to cast a vote.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

You don't know what I did was illegal or just some long-winded story of vigilantism that I made up for entertainment purposes. Because, I rarely drink.

Oh, alright. I drink sometimes. I don't mind Peruvian-ing my morning coffee. That stops me from going hypoglycemic.

Universities are the source of where all went awry. In the lecture halls, wisdom resides, if anywhere, in a collective ethos shared by academics. In the old order, they saw their mission in the humanities as transmitting Western culture, as expressed through the finest literature, art, philosophy, and methods of thinking of the past. The privilege of being the repository imposed a noblesse oblige, of honouring the past, and introducing young minds to its ways, to give them the capacity to forge their own pathways.

Then a new disposition appeared, especially after the 1960s, overturning the old order, with love for the culture replaced by hate. The new watchwords became tear down, destroy, cancel. Those who came before were despised, not revered, as was the world they had built. Lecturers and professors were swept away in a fervour of resentment, blaming their own society and its ways for their suffering from what can only have been some deep personal disappointment. That disappointment may have been a spiritual crisis in which they had lost their old faith—whether in God; in truth, beauty, and right order; or ultimately in themselves. So, they sowed the whirlwind.

Yale University’s African American Studies Professor Daphne Brooks intends to use the performer’s wide-ranging repertoire, including footage of her live performances, as a “portal” for students to learn about Black intellectuals, from Frederick Douglass to Toni Morrison.


Daphne Brooks (born 1968) is an American writer and black studies scholar who is William R. Kenan, Jr. professor of African American studies, American Studies, Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies and Music at Yale University; she is also director of graduate studies.


Major works

Bodies in Dissent: Spectacular Performances of Race and Freedom, 1850–1910

Bodies in Dissent: Spectacular Performances of Race and Freedom, 1850–1910 (Duke University Press, 2006) is Brooks’ major work on performance studies. The book seeks to explore the way black protagonists embody African American experiences as they assert subjectivity by resisting the racial institution and creating black identities through performance.

Jeff Buckley’s Grace

"I was amazed that this young, stunningly handsome white guy from Southern California could sing like Nina Simone one minute and sound like Robert Plant the next".

Brooks notes Buckley's music as being shaped by a ""wild elixir of discordant musical and cultural influences", from Nina Simone and Billie Holiday to Led Zeppelin and Queen to Emily Dickinson and Toni Morrison".[11] In Brooks's words, Buckley embodied "cultural heterogeneity" and transformed the music of the 70s, 80s, and 90s into a distinct kind of music.

Developing antiracist pedagogies for early childhood education

Background: Antiracist initiatives in early childhood education tend to receive unfounded accusations that educators are allegedly ‘indoctrinating’ children. These accusations are fed by dominant discourses of white victimhood that belittle children with assumptions that they cannot see race and are unable to act racist. Within this context, there is a slow and steady realisation among educators that antiracist teaching activities within an Australian postcolonising context need to be about more than the acceptance of skin colour differences.

Aim: To contribute to existing dialogues among early childhood educators about the development of antiracist teaching.

Method: This paper combines two methods that focus on the topic of antiracist education in the early years. The first method involves a discourse analysis of six public commentaries/news articles published in 2021 on antiracist education in early childhood. In particular, these articles/commentaries were inspired by (1) conservative calls across North America to remove Critical Race Theory (CRT) from the early childhood curriculum, (2) an Australian politician’s demand for a review of children’s antiracism books across public libraries, and (3) a motion passed by the Australian Senate to remove CRT from the national curriculum. The second method is an integrative literature review on research into antiracism and two resources developed for early childhood educators.

Results: The mischaracterisations of antiracist teaching and literature function to maintain racial inequalities, and narratives of white victimhood propel the demonisation of antiracist initiatives for children. Also, an integrative literature review reveals how educators often feel ill prepared in addressing racism in early childhood environments or teaching children about racism. Further, this review affirms that while educators tend to portray children as ‘colourblind’, the research shows that children can express racism in early childhood centres. The development of an antiracist pedagogy for early years education is situated in a postcolonising context that should centre the experiences and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, their families, and communities.

Conclusions: Antiracist pedagogies are necessary in articulating how early childhood educators teach diversity and difference to children. Contrary to populist misinterpretations, educators can work with children in their abilities to see race, racism, and interpret diversity and difference. Educators themselves should engage in challenging yet courageous conversations about race and racism. Starting points include challenging whiteness in early childhood curriculum materials and challenging common denials of racism.

Implications for children and families: It is important to recognise that your child can see colour and can learn about diversity and difference. Educators who work with your child need to be equipped with the skills to challenge racism and talk to your child about antiracism.

Implications for practitioners: This paper stimulates a conversation among early childhood professionals about developing antiracism teaching skills as a lifelong learning project. It is important for you to develop antiracist pedagogies that enrich your confidence in teaching diversity and difference, challenge assumptions that children are colourblind, and counter populist rhetoric that tends to attack social justice initiatives.

Key words: social justice, antiracist teaching, antiracism, review, Indigenous voices, wellbeing, vulnerable communities.

I think Nazism needs a bit of a return. Perhaps we can reinstate some white supremacy, too. Although, that might be a bit against the laws of this country. I know! Maybe we should outlaw cultures that conflict with Australian laws. Or would that be considered "racist"?

Australian vice-chancellors are among the world’s highest paid, pocketing an average of $1.048m across 37 universities last year, based on remuneration packages revealed in their ­annual reports.

But the breakdown of base salary and benefits, as well as performance targets for bonuses and the criteria for pay decisions, are set in secrecy by university senates.

Pegging pay to public service remuneration rates is likely to lead to savage salary cuts for vice-chancellors – although it is not clear whether changes will be retrospective or apply only to new appointments.

University of Sydney vice-chancellor Mark Scott earned between $1.17m and $1.18m last year. He earned half as much in a previous job heading the NSW Education Department, whose secretary Murat Dizdar was paid $623,000 last year.

Mr Dizdar controls a $24bn budget with 107,108 staff and nearly 800,000 students.

Professor Scott is responsible for 9051 staff and 68,421 students, with revenue of $3.4bn.

His university’s underpayment of staff left it with financial liabilities totalling $77m in ­December last year.

Professor Scott also earns nearly twice as much as CSIRO chief executive Doug Hilton, who earned a base salary of $588,810 as part of a $639,748 ­remuneration package.

Dr Hilton runs a budget of $1.73bn, with 6234 staff.

Queensland University of Technology vice-chancellor Margaret Sheil earned $1.23m last year – with a base salary of $1,055,000, plus a $151,000 bonus and $28,000 in superannuation.

Her university has a $1.18bn budget, with 4509 staff and 52,000 students.

In contrast, Queensland TAFE paid its chief executive John Tucker a $350,000 base salary – with a total package of $404,000 – to run an agency with 4417 staff, a $834m budget, and 144,000 students.

For me it’s completely unacceptable that Jewish students have been targeted and been abused for no other reason than being Jewish and attending a Australian university?

Yes, would explain why Australian university are going broke and have their hands out begging ( again) for taxpayer money.
There must come a time when business that are so poorly managed by people on such huge wages can no longer be entitled to taxpayer funds just to balance out their own business management incompetence?
