Definitely not something a corrupt person would say.

If they're "permitted to year shorts" why not just skip the skirt and let them wear shorts?

Even with a 10% pay cut the VC will be remunerated over $1,000,000 per year, even despite the university's poor financial performance.

Afaik the ANU VC earns about $650k (here). Not that this isn't probably 6-8x what most others in the university earn.

Pretty much agree with everything you say though. I'm about to graduate from ANU and I'm glad to be leaving tbh.

I would just add that, while the unis are managed poorly, the cuts to the sector by successive governments can't be excused.

Because if no one reviews the articles then anyone could publish junk. In highly technical fields the only people qualified to tell if something is BS science are the experts in the field, so they review and make sure the article has some merit.

That's not to say the reviewing process is perfect, but it does at least help to filter some amount of bs.

You're assuming that they scouted this and carefully planned it to ensure they wouldn't cause damage. I doubt that.

Seems like they did:

The canvas of the painting is protected with a glass screen, a factor Just Stop Oil said they had taken into account.

Guess we need the NACC to investigate the NACC

There's an android app called URLCheck that can strip unwanted bits off the end of urls and then open them as well.

It's okay, they can use AI to teach it to save money

Fines that were actually enforced properly might work. In general though I think the feds probably need to run an education campaign about AI.

The house might look good in a sort of greeny-teal shade
