Australian universities will be required to adopt formal definitions of racism, including antisemitism, Islamophobia and racism against First Nations peoples, under new national standards. The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) says all higher education providers must comply with the new requirements from January 2027. The regulator will also issue guidance to help universities develop clear definitions of racism and implement meaningful measures to address it.

Monday Headlines: One Nation loses support to the Coalition Trump says strait of Hormuz open despite Iran closure Australian Universities forced to adopt new definitions on antisemitism and Islamophobia Aussie students flock to free TAFE courses, but apprentice figures dip Australia to wave goodbye to paper arrival cards for incoming travellers Deep Dive: Pattaya has long traded on two reputations: a tourist playground by day, and one of the world's busiest red-light hubs by night. That darker side made global headlines last month when the body of 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla was discovered stuffed inside a suitcase beside a railway line on the edge of the city. A 45-year-old Australian man has been accused of her murder, which he denies. The case has reignited scrutiny of an industry that's technically against the law in Thailand, yet thrives in full view - raising questions about corruption, worker safety, and the surprising truth about who's actually driving demand.

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a wide-ranging and deeply concerning commentary on political leadership, national debt, higher education and the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence. Jeremy predicts an imminent leadership change within the Liberal Party, arguing that opposition infighting is allowing the Albanese government to escape scrutiny during a worsening cost-of-living crisis. Jeremy reflects on Australia’s economic shift since the Whitlam era, warning the nation is suffering from “reform fatigue” driven by ideology rather than outcomes. He raises alarm over skyrocketing national debt, uncontrolled government spending and the absence of meaningful cost–benefit analysis across public policy. A major focus of the episode is the threat posed by AI to universities, professional qualifications and public trust. Jeremy warns that artificial intelligence is enabling students to graduate with credentials but without competence, undermining medicine, law, engineering and psychology. He also discusses the rise of AI-generated films, predictions that machines could overtake humans by 2047, and the growing tension between free speech and “social inclusion”. The episode closes with a sharp critique of proposed changes to capital gains tax concessions, a reminder of Bill Shorten’s failed tax agenda, and a reflection on accountability, freedom and common sense in modern Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a defining week for climate action, the Albanese government has unveiled a commitment to cut emissions between 62% and 70% on 2005 levels by 2035. But vocal climate advocate Senator David Pocock says a minimum of 75% is needed to ‘do our bit'. Political editor Tom McIlroy speaks to the ACT independent about his pessimism about political leadership on climate ambition – despite the government's own warnings against a lack of action. He also discusses his criticism of ANU leadership, Labor's declining political will on gambling reform and why he thinks Canberra is one of Australia's best-kept secrets

Several Australian universities have earned spots among the world's top 100 in two surveys — the US News and QS Global Rankings. Leading the charts are US institutions like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford, and Harvard, while UK universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, and Imperial College London continue to hold strong positions. A global rankings expert weighs in if these rankings matter, especially for international students considering their options.

As a child refugee in India, Harini dreamt of making it to Australia to study medicine and become a doctor. She arrived in Australia in 2013 when she was 10 years old, leaving behind her two siblings and mother. Harini did not realise her visa status made her different to her classmates until she received a university offer for a biomedical science degree that required her to pay international student fees of nearly $100,000. After attempting to self-fund her studies and falling a year behind in payments, the university disenrolled Harini in 2023 – four months before she was set to complete her degree. Today, Harini Rathnakumar on how her promise of a better life in Australia was shattered, and the many others stuck in visa limbo. This episode was originally published in September 2024.

Sky News Australia reports a downturn in Australia-US relations stemming from the Trump administration's decision to cease funding for seven Australian universities. This action followed inquiries to researchers about Chinese funding and university stances on gender. Prime Minister Albanese is urged to convene an emergency meeting to assess the impact of this funding cut, potentially leaving a significant deficit for Australian research. The US administration cited its "America First" agenda, objecting to "DEI, woke gender ideology and the green new deal" as reasons for this funding pause, prioritising American taxpayer money for domestic priorities. Australian science and education bodies are calling for a strong government response to protect research interests, though the Australian government states it will continue to advocate for collaborative research. The US has indicated that its funding decisions will align with its own priorities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week the prime minister delivered a pitch to young Australians: Labor will slash their student debt by 20% next financial year if the Albanese government is re-elected. The surprise announcement is part of a major federal government overhaul designed to boost access to education and address ‘intergenerational unfairness'. But while the move has been welcomed by many, it has also been widely criticised for not doing enough to help students as well as unfairly penalising all taxpayers. Chief economist at the Australia Institute and Guardian columnist Greg Jericho gives his take on why Labor's plan isn't perfect but why the feigned outrage over ‘fairness' is wrong You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

Ep129 we speak with Lynne Cazaly and her book, "Sync Async" < https://amzn.to/43Q3QkO > which makes a distinction between synchronous and asynchronous work. The author urges people to consider more asynchronous ways of working. There will always be too much to do and not enough time to do it. Putting practical sync async techniques to work can make your work easier . . . and the rest of life better. Consider: ·     Do we really need everyone at the same meeting at the same time? (synchronous work) ·      Could some people contribute prior to, or after the meeting or begin working on tasks outside of a meeting? (asynchronous work). A growing number of teams and businesses are learning and experiencing the value of deliberately working in sync / async ways. That is, some work is completed synchronously - at the same time with other people; and other elements of work completed asynchronously - at a time and in a way that suits them. In this conversation with author Lynne Cazaly, we discuss how, why and when to work in sync and async ways ·      tools for making great async progress ·      ways to identify the type of work you prefer ·      how to make daily progress easier - get started on things that have stopped and accelerate things that have slowed. You don't need to wait for a culture change or for someone to give you the go-ahead on this. You can start working better in both sync and async ways from today. ABOUT LYNNE CAZALY Lynne Cazaly from Melbourne, Australia, is an international keynote speaker, award-winning author and master facilitator. Lynne is author of 10 books including: "Sync Async: Making progress easier in the changing world of work." https://amzn.to/43Q3QkO Listen to Episode 31 of this podcast with Lynne Cazaly talking about Perfectionism and her book: "Ish: The Problem with our Pursuit for Perfection and the Life-Changing Practice of Good Enough.'" https://amzn.to/3vLCTlG An experienced radio broadcaster, presenter and producer, Lynne has presented 10,000+ hours on-air.

How did a system that was meant to make access to university more equitable end up burdening students with the very $100,000 degrees John Howard promised Australia would never have? Jane Lee and Matilda Boseley talk to the Labor-appointed architect of the higher education contribution scheme to understand why student fees were introduced, who benefited and how he wound up at a dinner party where guests were planning to burn an effigy … of him. In part three of Who screwed millennials? we hear from economist Prof Bruce Chapman, Guardian Australia editor Lenore Taylor, university historian Julia Horne, VicWise founder Manorani Guy and education report Caitlin Cassidy to trace the dozens of ideological changes over decades that transformed the nature of our university system

With rising house prices, a decade of wage stagnation and ballooning student debt, young people in Australia are living through what author Jill Filipovic describes as ‘a series of broken promises'. In episode one of this new series from Guardian Australia, Full Story co-host Jane Lee and reporter Matilda Boseley sort through these broken promises, investigating why young people are living in a time of such economic strain. In this episode, we hear from a handful of experts featured in Who screwed millennials?, including author Jill Filipovic, youth researcher Intifar Chowdhury, author Malcolm Harris, Guardian Australia editor Lenore Taylor and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis about how millennials became the first generation to be worse off than their parents

A once-in-a-generation expert review warns that not enough Australians are receiving a higher education. To fix this, their report proposes a new, needs-based funding model so students from disadvantaged backgrounds are better supported at university. But not everyone thinks it's the right plan.

Have you ever talked to a sociopath? According to the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (or DSM-5), sociopathy is a category of antisocial personality disorder. A sociopath is someone with interior, social, and pathological impairments to their personality. Sociopaths will say anything to get their way, even if that means bending the truth and manipulation. Do you suspect you may be dealing with a sociopath right now? In this video, we present to you some of the things a sociopath would say to help you understand what really goes through their minds. As a disclaimer, we want to note that these phrases alone don't define a sociopath. Language is just a small piece of a larger puzzle. In other words, you may hear a friend or partner use phrases from this list, but that doesn't necessarily make him or her a sociopath.

Both the supply and demand for international students in India to study in Australia has never been greater. But the sector has been hit by controversy in recent months, with some Australian universities banning students from specific Indian states over concerns that some are not genuine students and are having their visas refused. - آسٹریلیا میں تعلیم حاصل کرنے کے لیے ہندوستان سے بین الاقوامی طلباء کی طلب اور رسد میں کبھی کمی نہیں تھی۔ لیکن یہ شعبہ حالیہ مہینوں میں تنازعات کی زد میں رہا ہے، کچھ آسٹریلین یونیورسٹیز نے مخصوص ہندوستانی ریاستوں کے طلباء پر ان خدشات پر پابندی لگا دی ہے کہ کچھ اصل میں طلباء نہیں ہیں اور ان کے ویزے سے انکار کر دیا گیا ہے۔

Both the supply and demand for international students in India to study in Australia has never been greater. But the sector has been hit by controversy in recent months, with some Australian universities banning students from specific Indian states, over concerns that some are not genuine students and are having their visas refused. Students themselves say singling out students in a few states is discriminatory, and unfairly punishes applicants who deserve an equal opportunity to study in Australia.

University staff are at breaking point. Teachers have told Guardian Australia that cost-cutting, an increase in casual work contracts and lower academic standards have all contributed to a hollowing out of the university sector – with many students no longer getting what they pay for.
