The NTEU Monash has started a petition to get casual teaching staff paid for student consultation hours. (That's right, they don't currently get paid for it!) Please consider signing: megaphone.org.au/petitions/mona… via @MegaphoneAU

Parents name new-born twins “Corruption” and “Climate Change” to stop Scott Morrison from tackling them before 2050

Casual academic and full-time angel Kai Tanter says: "Casual tutors provide the first point of contact for students. Without student consults we cannot provide our students with a quality learning experience and appropriate support..." megaphone.org.au/petitions/mona…

Academic friends: a local high school student is looking for academic staff to interview for a research project about stereotypes and credibility within academia. It looks super cool - PM me if you're interested!

It is time for a Royal Commission into the universities NTEU Save Australian Universities #uniroyalcommission johnmenadue.com/james-guthrie-…

If you're a trans-inclusive person, I'd really ask you to retweet this (and you know that apart from research and surveys and follows for others I never ask for retweets). For trans people who are here (on Twitter), safe places are often formed from hearing affirmations.

Australian university managers are no better than billionaire developers. They buy wildly expensive real estate and build extravagant new buildings — all while ruthlessly pushing down their employees and screwing their “customers.”
