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

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.

Australian millennials are the first generation to be worse off than their parents, and things are only heading in the same direction for gen Z. In this deeply researched yet tongue-in-cheek five-part podcast series, Full Story co-host Jane Lee and social media reporter Matilda Boseley investigate the mystery of who screwed young Australians out of affordable housing, education and secure work, and why inequality is rising in Australia

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.

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.

Commentary An Australian Parliamentary committee on security and intelligence has concluded that the Chinese communist regime targeted Australian universities as part of a huge two-pronged exercise to firstly transfer Western knowledge and technology into China and secondly to deploy spies into the West. https://ept.ms/37ciNEK Feedback: Audio@epochtimes.com Australian universities, help, Beijing, target, CCP, China, goals, technology transfer, knowledge, deploy, spy, spies, infiltrated, used, data theft, intelligence agent, Confucius Institute, naïve, infiltration, influence, tools,

Australia's universities are in trouble. A decade or more of chasing revenue from foreign students has changed the character of universities and left them vulnerable to external disruption like the Covid-19 border bans. The rankings system with which rewards research citations more highly than the quality of teaching has distorted the allocation of resources and turned academic research into exercise in citation harvesting. Universities have become top-heavy in administration leading to untold frustration from students and teaching staff. And to top it all, universities are responsible for the lab leak that allowed the culturally destructive virus commonly known as woke to escape into the community. Are our institutes of higher learning broken beyond repair? Should they be abandoned in favour of other sources of epistemological excellence less remote from the community? That's the question Salvatore Babones sets out to answer in his new book, Australia's Universities: Can They Reform? He joins Menzies Research Centre Executive Director for this discussion recorded in February 2022 Salvatore Babones has a background in sociology.
