Last month Team Australia, which comprised of eight ANU law students, swept the board at the 2024 Intercollegiate Negotiation & Arbitration Comp in Tokyo.
James Fisher, who coached the team, said that this was the best result ANU has ever had at this competition.

'The only way we can understand what Israel is doing in an overall sense is not a series of war crimes. It is one big crime and that the name for that is genocide.' My question to Israeli historian Benny Morris - which he didn't answer - in @mehdirhasan's new @AJHeadtoHead.

“These disgraceful comments blaming staff when it’s clear there’s been managerial incompetence are simply staggering. This is emblematic of a broken governance system that needs an urgent federal parliamentary inquiry.” @AlisonBarnes25 Read more: nteu.info/sackbishop

Lectures train one to listen. Abolishing lectures is therefore an excellent university preparation for professional life in the managerial class.

I urge ANU senior management to ensure these outstanding not-for-profit child education centres, some of which have operated for decades, remain the exclusive providers of childcare on campus. They are the 💛 of @ourANU community & produce remarkable value. My wee fella agrees 🕺

I have been at @ourANU for more than 3 hours so far. ANU sending huge numbers of security and police to vacate ANU Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Shameful to send police onto a uni campus to break up a peaceful protest. Rumours more police on the way.
James C. Fisher retweeted
Great to see folks rally to support the ANU encampment from @ourANU’s shameful attempts to silence them
James C. Fisher retweeted
The students are always on our side sending a clear message to the uni.
In 20 years the uni will tokenize this movement as ‘proud history of student activism’ and not mention that they are going to send police in to brutalize students. @UniMelb we will never forget.
full support to students showing infinitely more moral integrity than their institutions’ leadership
"We reject passivity, cynicism, pessimism and lethargy. We replace them with hope, determination and civil disobedience."

Squatting is good and people should do more of it.
Jordan is fed up with seeing empty houses in Australia. So he decided to help people squat.

pinkwashing of colonial genocide by gutless sycophants @Tokyo_R_Pride who confirm no exclusion of orgs complicit in israel’s atrocities, to ensure ‘tolerance’ (read: corporate goodwill). the ‘rainbow family’ in 🇵🇸 would prefer not being slaughtered but fuck them eh 🤷♀️ 💴🏳️🌈
