HELP doesn't require the award you are pursuing have any accreditation. A Master of Arts (for instance) isn't usually accredited for anything.

A Full Bench of Santas?

Australia amended its constitution in 1977 so all federal judges retire at 70, because there was one 84 year old judge we got a bit concerned about. (He was forced to retire a year prior because he broke his hip trying to kill a cricket and the Chief Justice wouldn't install a wheelchair ramp.)

Could be worse. His career as a dramatic actor might have denied us a slapstick funny man. It’s better this way.

One of the girls in my grade had to get a job to support herself to stay in school for grade 11 & 12. Her parents said ‘you’ve got junior, that’s enough’. I can’t believe she was the only one in the 400-ish of us. The year was 1986.

How do you know he’s informed, reliable and objective? How do you verify a claim like that?

A classic Dianne Warren power ballad!

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters.
He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

The ALP state secretary at the time said "the franchise under which the [1931 BCC] election was conducted was the most reactionary ever put forward in Australia"

You could vote if you were listed as the occupier of rateable land (or if unoccupied, the person entitled to possession of the land). Companies and trustees would nominate a person to exercise their vote. So a bank would have a vote for each branch and office, for eg.

Except for the brief 'occupier franchise' period from 1931-33, the ward boundaries were the state district boundaries until 1973 (or, those parts of districts within the City boundaries).

Russell Mulcahy was the perfect video director for Jim Steinmann's songs. Imagine what he could have done with songs from Bat out of Hell...

I think putting Cth representatives on Councils gives the Cth two bites of the oversight cherry. They already have extremely broad control of university operations via §96 grants, I’m not sure they should also have appointed roles in the governance of each institution.

Oh, sorry, I thought you meant the state parliament and the state minister for education.

Responsible government means 4 & 5 are a bit of a distinction without a difference?

Are employees stakeholders by virtue of their labour? There’s a general progressive case for workers’ representation on boards, but it’s notably absent from this current university governance discourse.

Journalists are the enemy of civil society.

Those innocent days when even the villain community could enjoy the fruits of multiculturalism

South Africans got a little bit of villain action as well.

As Dr Mark says, Union is a private schoolboy’s game and without relevance to 80+% of the population here.

In Australia through the 70s and 80s, our public broadcaster’s Mon-Thu tv schedule was the Goodies then Dr Who when every other channel was news and current affairs.
The Goodies, yes.

EVERY president since the 80s has demanded Cuba return Assata Shakur to the US for trial. Trump offered to END the embargo if they returned her.

The Cubans told every president for decades to eat shit and that she will always be welcome to live her life in peace on their land.

Rest well, legend

I wonder how much of that is library and technical & scientific support and facilities maintenance, vs ‘’administration’

Incredible machines. I cut my teeth on them and was awfully confused when I encountered pcs

Do you know the source for ‘55% of staff work in administration’?

Can you explain what’s up with the title please?

I remember it as a fixture on Australian TV in the 70s.

Wait, a cakewalk is a dance!?

Is it racist to refer to an easy task as a ‘cakewalk’? (I’m Australian and I can’t quite work out what’s going on here)

Packaging for Arnott’s ‘golliwog’ biscuits.

They were delicious and I rather miss their texture and flavour! (Tiny Teddies were very similar, but tiny)
