May Day poster reveals union history (Advocate 26 03)

NTEU was formed in 1993 from a number of predecessor organisations. In the ACT, these included the Australian National University Staff Association (as a member of the Federated Australian University Staff Association (FAUSA)) and the ANU Administrative and Allied Officers’ Association (ANUAAOA). The latter body represented general staff of level 6 and above, and was regarded by many as a ‘bosses’ union’. Most general staff in the ACT were instead represented by the Health Services Union (HSUA, known today as the HSU), which had coverage of university staff at ANU and UC at the time. More...

The Final Quarter (Advocate 26 03)

In mid-2019, a film was released which started to change some of the conversations in society with regards to racism, how it manifests and what its impacts can be. That film, The Final Quarter focused on the last couple of years of former AFL great Adam Goodes’ playing career, honing in on the ‘booing fiasco’ and piecing together footage of the time to tell the story without interviews. The film is precisely an exploration of how racism is constructed and propagated in Australia. More...

‘Ensuring Integrity’ Bill ensures inequity (Advocate 26 03)

Freedom to associate sits at the heart of democracy and enables workers to unite and work together to promote and protect their economic and social interests. The importance of this freedom to democratic society is reflected in its status as an internationally recognised human right protected in such conventions as United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR); United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR); International Labour Organisation Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention 1948 (No.87); International Labour Organisation Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention 1949 (No. 98).

Murdoch Overreach (Advocate 26 03)

In 1997, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) published its Recommendation Concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel which included the following statement:
“ … all higher-education teaching personnel should enjoy freedom of thought, conscience, religion, expression, assembly and association as well as the right to liberty and security of the person and liberty of movement. They should not be hindered or impeded in exercising their civil rights as citizens, including the right to contribute to social change through freely expressing their opinion of state policies and of policies affecting higher education. They should not suffer any penalties simply because of the exercise of such rights.”
But more and more frequently, Australian universities are seemingly thumbing their noses at the notion that university workers are, by right, free to consider and develop controversial ideas in the search for truth. More...

Does good academic citizenship really matter? The Thesis Whisperer (Advocate 26 03)

To be clear: this is not a criticism of my university or individual managers, who are often just doing their best with a shitty situation. Years of government policy have made our universities into corporate entities exposed to the cruel winds of financial misfortune, not collegial communities who pull together to defend each other. More...
