We’re losing cultural institutions untied to profit

Andrew Bonnell says: This also applies to university restructuring. Usually, when a university wants to cut off the positions, the business contract must consult before doing anything else and enter into the research process of the affected personnel and union. Forced excesses should be the last resort. This process can be overcome if the personnel are not within the scope of the university agreement, if the personnel are in fixed term contracts or is accepted as a “associated asset”.

Regardless of the situation, it is a vast practice to act as Melbourne University does, and it is not surprising that it is speculation about motives.

AP7 says: This is another example of sad news and not being directed towards market transactions. Universities and churches are two institutions that come before modern capitalism and offer activities and products that are not built around a logic of profit. In the late 1980s, state universities have been carved into businesses for a long time and have been transformed into enterprises, which have accelerated the Dawkins reforms to a great extent.

I had the honor of being on a short list for the position of the editor. Mean Jin Many years ago. I lost Ian to Britain and there was absolutely no embarrassment. While providing a great space to explore Australia and its identity with literature, Mean Jin It was more than that. Australia was one of the places where the public mind developed, grew and reflected.

And if we want to talk about subsidies, the richness of unpaid or unpaid or low -wage contributions over the years has worked carefully by writers and editors, to a large extent to a great extent to contribute to the life of the mind, literally, literally beyond the price.

As an archive Mean Jin The skin will remain a national treasure.

Alex Swann says: Is there just a part of being in your 40s, is there this daily feeling of the old world, a forest you know, a forest, in fact, as the tree cuts the tree when you hope that it will continue to bloom and more spectacular growth? That’s how everything about the world feels to me right now.

KSN writes: Paul Keating’s comments on the Senate’s comments that the Senate is a non -representation Swill. Price and Hume do not have to worry about the damage caused by the Hume and can pamper the virtue signal to the Nativists. Alex Hawke and CO in CO are aware of the damage to the election expectations. The Indian community is important and growing in suburban seats like him.

In this rate, the liberals lock themselves from large suburban areas. Already in the seats like Blaxland for the second time you see the conservative -prone independent independent independent. Since liberal senators cannot help them, we set out for the disintegration of the right.

Peter C says: This is exactly like targeting the Greeks and Italians in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, it was foolish, and now it was even more mindless to target the Indo-Avustralian community.

The Indo-Australian community is doing the job that Australians refuse to do, for example, to work in our hospitals and care homes; Our truck and bus drivers, taxi and uber delivery drivers; Building our homes; Personnel of our 24 -hour markets; cleaning our homes, offices, medical facilities and shopping centers; And processing our pathology and radiography. Without the Indian community, Australia did not function.

Six years ago, they are very similar to the Greek and Italian communities, and like these previous communities, they send their children to university to become our accountants, doctors, engineers, lawyers and scientists. We must be grateful to the Indian community that it works so hard and enriched our lives and is grateful to us for the previous generation Greeks and Italians, reminding us of the value of the family.

Mike Sprankge says: The weakening of the laws of Freedom of knowledge of Australia represent exactly what is wrong in our political system: Great parties give priority to the power of transparency.

Withdrawal from this clarity stems from two main problems. First, the lobbyists enjoy the privileged access to the government, and they are largely distanced from the public interest while working in the shadow to a great extent. Secondly, both major parties suffer from excessive confidence in dangerous governance abilities by treating transparency as discomfort rather than democratic necessity.

Opposition parties focus on political damage rather than an honest policy debate. Governments respond to privacy in good governance by giving priority. Conclusion? Citizens rightly lose access to the information they should have.

That’s why I supported the independents in the last elections. Crossbench provides basic pressure for better governance standards. David Pocock’s forcing to tighten lobbying access, the reform we need, and the big parties resist the surrender themselves.

We need governments and independents to demand higher standards. Most importantly, we need voters to admit that giving uncontrolled power to large parties actually reduces the quality of government.

As Don Chipp once called: “Keep the bastards honest.” Today, this means to use Crossbench MPs to force FOI laws – such as weakening – to force transparency reforms.
