The Australian is reporting, “Education Minister Dan Tehan will stare down universities pleading for urgent government support, as vice-chancellors warn that Australia’s research capacity will be devastated if they don’t secure additional funding”.
Ms Goddard said “the universities are clearly in trouble because they have had their international student pool dry up”. However, she pointed out “there has been an over-dependence on selling out our university places overseas when we need to focus on domestic students". If a reduction in funds “means cutting the fat a bit through our universities then so be it, because I’m assuming there is an awful lot of fat to be cut”.
I bet you didn't think the Chinese will say enough is enough. In that case we aint buying. Australia needs to know which side it's butter is on. If you they can't accept China then they shouldn't be taking Chinese money either
Finally someone saying what most taxpayers have for years. They want to run their institutions like businesses? ... well guess what. You can't have it both ways when you are one.
If the government wants strong economic growth, trashing Australia’s research capability seems rather short-sighted.

Live export Federal Court decision is a 'great win for the Australian people' | Sky News AustraliaBrett Cattle's Colin Brett says the Federal Court decision ruling Gillard-era live export ban invalid is a “great win for Australia and a great win for the Australian people”.\n\nThe Federal Court has ruled the Gillard government's move to ban live exports in Northern Australia in 2011 was invalid. \n\nThe court labelled the move 'unreasonable', opening up the potential for significant compensation for the Northern Territory's Cattlemen's Association.\n\nMr Brett told Sky News host Andrew Bolt the decision will mean governments are “never allowed to cut things out overnight” claiming the original decision to ban live exports occurred without proper notice.\n\nHe also lamented the effect the decision had on Indonesia “our great friends right alongside of us” adding the government essentially “cut off one of their protein supplies”.\n Cattleman says the Federal Court decision ruling Gillard-era live export ban invalid is a “great win for Australia but not a great win for cattle”. Not great news for the cattle? What a joke. What's wrong with sending cattle and sheep to thier death on filthy cramped ships all to meet thier end in the most inhumane way possible? Nothing because the $ is more important... 🤫
