Jacqui Lambie makes a stronger argument in favor of affordable higher education than any of our vice chancellors have managed in this entire debate. This is such great news!

"After about a decade, STEM majors start exiting their job fields as their skills are no longer the latest and greatest. In contrast, many humanities majors work their way to high-earning management positions. By middle age, average pay looks very similar across many majors...2'

This is 100% lies. @AlanTudgeMP you have NO data to say these have better job outcomes than the courses you clobbered with fees. They are just the sectors you prefer since they don’t terrify you and your craven govt.

All that remains • Kate Fullagar

Today has involved receiving four cover designs for 2022 books. I'm itching to share but of course it's too early. But here's one--for March 2022--for an endlessly intriguing narrative-cultural history about human-animal relations in the early 20th century. #books #publishing

@Sathnam Sathnam, thank you - tho I want to note the first part of this @BBCWorld report is wrong. The Voice was not about greater political rights. It’s was about a tiny advisory body to parliament. It could hardly have been more modest. Too much tho apparently.

This is so so hard. I heard this convo in my local Bunnings and I’m shaky before I can even begin. But we do have to try; probably the most powerful political act many of us can do.
