Precisely! The hilarious takedown of anything described as postmodern will never not be funny to me. Post-structuralism however is a deadly serious business.

And yet this continues to occur.
University staff outraged as high-paid consultants work on redundancies
As Western Sydney University prepares to shed hundreds of staff due to its dire finances, leaked documents reveal it is paying consultants as much as $2,850 a day.

These hucksters are so bafflingly dumb. Caught out not doing the work and pocketing all the proceeds as 'profit'. Take back work to 'fix' and 'reassure' quailty to preserve reputation. Serve up dross with scant human 'fixing' done. Smile. They can't permit a loss even to buy market reassurance

Today, it's the first time in the past decade we haven't attended CommBank's annual meeting to demand improved climate action.

But ANZ, Westpac and NAB all face shareholder resolutions calling on the banks to meet their #climate commitments. Act now! marketforces.org.au/campaigns/ba...

At face value it's kind of amazing that we live in a timeline where a Senator, representing a whole state, just slags off the capital where the majority of people live.

Leave. It's awful. Terrible people. Democracy? Yeah, nah. Babet ain't into that. Another country's culture war? Hells yeah!

That sounds like the chant is 'fascist' go home. That's what I hear anyway. Either works I guess.

As Australia begins to mirror America’s erosion of responsible freedom, with militarised policing, corporate capture, and shrinking space for dissent, citizens must stay alert. If we remain silent, we risk inheriting the same divisions, injustices, and state overreach that plague the U.S.

This is nauseating hagiography in real time. Remember the surf life saving double spreads of Abbott after he knifed Nelson by one vote and then again in 2010? It may not have been Hartcher but it was Fairfax as much as Newscorp. They cannot help but be players rather than witnesses.

I'm actually quite moved at your reflective sentimentality. It's nice to have solid civic events as a party of our identity. It's a binding force and something to be shared. The grand final(s), grand slams, ANZAC, Archibald's etc make us culturally richer (Bellah, 1960)

Thanks for the link! This is all pretty damning and I'm so pleased the senate had led this inquiry process with solid recommendations. It's painful it's been this long in coming however. All of these revelations have been aired ad nauseum by those inside. Hope this results in needed change
The senators' report acknowledges pockets of good practice across the sector. Its conclusions overall, however, are vithering: "This inquiry Ias xposed what lies beneath the tip of the governance failure iceberg- overpaid and arrogant management and their largesse, paque, unaccountable, and top- down decision-making, and governance bodies stacked with corporate appointees. The inquiry is now calling for sweeping changes to both the structure and operations of university councils. The politics of his will not necessarily be traightforward. This is because 11

We need YOU to sign our petition to the Port to stop coal ships during the Blockade.

The Port calls itself “a global leader in sustainability” — let's pressure them to live up to that claim.
