Tonight's federal budget is a first step on what's going to be a long and critical road to fix the deep problems in our sector.
While there's $1.1 billion to implement the Universities Accord over the next five years, it's clear much more ambitious investments will be needed.

Another good article on funding cuts in New Zealand by @JS_ResearchPro.
I and others are concerned about the long-term costs on society by cutting and discontinuing programmes. We didn't expect these contracts to end completely. (1/2) researchprofessionalnews.com…

UA understands that six Discovery applications for commencement in 2022 were recommended for funding by the ARC, but not funded.
We will be pursuing this matter, on behalf of our members, with the Minister as a matter of the highest importance.

My delight at being successful with an ARC Discovery Grant is tinged with dismay that the minister has vetoed some grants that relate to climate, religion and China. Censorship is not in the Australian national interest (nor is burying the announcement on Xmas Eve).

Up in Canberra tonight I received exciting news from Minister Tudge. He and the PM have just approved South Australia’s overseas student return plan!
We understand that the NSW plan will also be approved very soon.
Let’s now prove to the whole community that we can do this safely
Jenny Sinclair retweeted
Fantastic news today that South Australia Govt has formally approved the Parafield Air Training School to quarantine returning international students ASAP! Congratulations to all who have worked so hard to finalise this student return plan. We now wait for Federal Govt sign off!
Jenny Sinclair retweeted
Great to hear today that our second largest state, Victoria, is finally agreeing to bring some students back from end of May! 120 per week is a small number to begin with so let’s hope the authorities can build up from that number quickly!!

Thread (this time with thread). In April 2019 I was at the Easter Show when I came across this and I tweeted. "At the Royal Easter Show with the kids when who should push in? SideShowMo and the poultry judge (I think)." That night, I kid you not, I got a call from PM's office.
