The alleged behaviour by Julie Bishop towards my friend and colleague @DrDemography is beyond excusable. It’s despicable. The Chancellor ought to be ashamed of herself, and should resign. ANU Council is beyond dysfunctional. It needs a full overhaul. afr.com/work-and-careers/wor…

‘in 2023, the Australian National University spent $11 million, just on executive travel. Who are these people - and did one of them go to the moon?’ Equivalent of 95 academic salaries spent on 15 people, averaging $3/4M each. @hannahforsyth⁩ hannahforsyth.substack.com/p…
