Expedia is a flawed communications platform. It is possibly highly effective at booking flights and taking money, but when there is a problem, it doesnt allow for communications between customer and business end. #travelfail @ExpediaHelp @ExpediaGroup @expedia_au

Bring back the travel agent! It is exhausting dealing with the Expedia platform. If you have a problem you cant ring or visit them, you can only use virtual chat for an AI response or message them through twitter, FB etc. #lessonlearned @Expedia @ExpediaGroup @expedia_au
Thrilled to have my fake news historical research in print in the first edition of SLNSW's stunning 'open book' publication.

As if the journalism industry didn’t have enough to contend with right now. Please @DanTehanWannon can you reconsider this for the sake of every news desert out there
Today @JERAAus joined other associations in writing an Open Letter to Dan Tehan opposing the government's planned fee increases to Humanities and Communications degrees #auspol @DanTehanWannon

Opposed to the Oz University fees hike, which targets Humanities and Arts? Please sign and share this important petition: megaphone.org.au/petitions/p… via @MegaphoneAU
Melbourne University's German Studies department has existed for over 50 years in the Faculty of Arts where @DanTehanWannon did his BA. He could have learnt German for free. So it wasn't the system that prevented him from learning a language. He had a choice #HumanitiesMatter

"I want to live in a society that has an economy, not the other way round. Not an economy that happens to have a society!"
@deborahcheetham says hiking up costs of some arts degrees makes it "impossible to conceive" of an industry going forward. Do you agree? #TheDrum

Statement from our JERAA president
Federal Minister Dan Tehan’s decision to more than double the cost of journalism degrees strikes at the heart of democracy in this country. Full statement from @JERAAus on our website jeraa.org.au/jeraa-condemns-…

This is the most revealing Tweet I’ve read today - thank you @garethjbryant

So Australian history is important enough to be mandated in the National Curriculum (by govt), but uni students are now being effectively discouraged from studying it (by same govt)? You can't have it both ways.
On what evidence is the Arts' fee hike based? According to the most recent Graduate Outcomes Survey (2019) Humanities students had equal full time employment as Maths and Science students with Communications students just a bit less.

Glancing across the Tasman for inspiration once again and the last major change to higher ed policy there was the introduction of FREE first year uni places. BTW humanities courses are $NZ 5,686.80 per year #humanities
