To the 2021 old boy of Redfield College from a prominent family who threatened my safety on social media ahead of our investigation into his alma ahead of tonight’s 4 Corners, police are investigating. You cannot threaten women. Enough. I trust the school will assist @nswpolice.

So if you’re wondering how NTEU National Council is going… The Victorian Div Sec @sarahecroberts has quietly moved an amendment which guts all opposition to gender critical TERFs from our QUTE Motion: The motion unanimously endorsed two years running by our entire queer caucus.

It was not my intent to personally gain from this post. I just wanted you to know that fear-mongering politics have no place in our school system. Leave the kids out of your petty rumor mill. They already deal with enough drama.

I truly appreciate everyone’s concern. Some of you have reached out, offering financial support. First and foremost, you should contribute to politicians in your state that aren’t trying to defund public schools and mental health programs.

I’m sitting in the ICU because my kid just tried to end her life for the 3rd time in 2 years. Ask me if I care about banning books and pride flags. Ask me if I care about litter boxes that don’t exist at school. I just want my kid to survive long enough to graduate. That’s all.

Something unprecedented is happening in the NTEU - for the first time ever, rank-and-file workers are contesting the National Executive in the national elections! Our ticket, A New NTEU, is challenging the current leadership for change we desperately need in the NTEU.

The @westernsydneyu casual conversion deal should reset EA negotiations everywhere. Long-term casuals deserve ongoing teaching & research jobs. @Sydney_Uni can easily afford smth even better. Our @NTEUNSW branch will keep campaigning till @mscott meets his responsibilities.

Imagine being an LGBTQIA+ Sea Eagles fan this week. The joy of supporting the first club to wear a pride jersey, only to find out that half your first grade team thinks you shouldn’t be included in their sport. Devastating.

After announcing an additional 100-150 FTE jobs are being cut at UTS, including 50-75 FTE academics mainly from Business, FEIT and Science, the VC directs us to the counselling service and LinkedIn Learning????

Push back hard on casuals' loss of email access. Your colleagues will back you. Many Unis have tried and failed to do this before.
