Interesting article by Ian Chubb. I was not at ANU when he was VC so can’t comment on that

Just tuning into the #hottest100 for the top 20. Accepting that I will not have voted for a single song! (maybe January 26 & Alone with you will sneak in?)
But seriously - where are the women? 13 out of 80. Oz has so many incredible women singers/leading bands!

Ive spent my whole adult life studying & working in universities. I do believe we need to change the narrative about what we do.
But this peculiarly politicised anti-intellectualism is depressing and harder to overcome www.theage.com.au/national/a-k...

Australian election campaigns are usually focused on hip pocket issues & leadership, but this one is very much being fought under the shadow of Trump.
Two months ago the LNP thought their overt links & messaging was a winning strategy.
Today not so much…
