New Liberal ascendancy (Advocate 22 03)

By Grahame McCulloch. The new Prime Minister and his ministry are economically dry and have much more socially liberal views than those of the paleo-Liberals associated with the former Prime Minister. Many have backgrounds with merchant banks and traders, resource and energy companies and international corporate, legal and accounting services. By and large they are a well- educated, cosmopolitan and cultured group. They are independently wealthy and some are a little detached from reality. More...

The case against the deregulation of tertiary education (Advocate 22 03)

By Paul Kniest. The ability of deregulated markets to efficiently and equitably allocate vocational education and training (VET) places in Australia has been on trial since the Brumby Labor Government in Victoria introduced its Securing Jobs for the Future policy in 2008. The policy entitled most students to government support (entitlement or demand driven system) and made all registered VET providers (public and private) eligible for government subsidies (fully contestable funding model).

University deregulation: Delayed, not ditched (Advocate 22 03)

By Paul Kniest. It was 3.30pm on Monday 14 September 2015 when Jeannie Rea, Rachael Bahl and Paul Kniest, representing NTEU, sat down for a meeting with Senator Glenn Lazarus in his Parliament office to discuss higher education policy. Reflecting on what were generally considered little more than rumours we jokingly asked whether Tony Abbott was still Prime Minister and were assured by a jocular response that nothing was likely to happen on that front anytime soon.

NTEU Submission to the Senate Economics References Committee Inquiry into the Economic Security of Women

By Terri Macdonald. While the NTEU has long held concerns around the gender pay gap and the impact on women, the greatest issue for women working in higher education is insecure employment and its impact on superannuation. While our universities are highly casualised already, the levels are in an upwards trend, and staff employed in non secure modes of employment are not entitled to the same levels of employer paid superannuation as their permanent colleagues. This has a profound impact on their capacity for savings, particularly when many who are employed either as casual or contract staff are long term employees. More...

TPP, copyright law and education (Advocate 22 03)

By Paul Clifton. There is much concern across the Pacific rim about the impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) upon public education. The secretive trade agreement involves a dozen nations across the Pacific, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, and Indonesia may soon join. More...

Something big is happening: are you in? (Advocate 22 03)

By Paul Clifton. Yet how quickly we were disappointed to see that, in order for Turnbull to get the keys of the Lodge, a deal had been made with the conservative gatekeepers of the Liberal Party and the policy status quo would remain the same. If it works, Direct Action will provide a paltry five per cent cut in Australia’s carbon emissions by 2020. More...

Divestment as a powerful tactic (Advocate 22 03)

By Paul Clifton. Our universities are under attack not just from successive governments led by the major parties, but from the powerful corporate interests pulling their strings. But divestment can be used as a tool to benefit both the environment and our sector. More...

Education for sale (Advocate 22 03)

By Jeannie Rea. Privatisation and commercialisation in and of education is undermining the expansion of educational opportunities for children and adults around the world. Access of children to primary and secondary school and onto tertiary education has increased across all regions. However, the incursion of private, specifically for-profit, businesses into all levels of education exploits individuals, families and communities seeking the best education they can afford. Poor and less educated people are shamelessly exploited by these education profiteers. More...

Changing university conversations (Advocate 22 03)

By Jeannie Rea. At our National Women’s Conference in August we had a Q&A where a panel of university staff, union officials and students were asked: What would you do if you were Vice-Chancellor for a day?
Not surprisingly panellists focused upon respecting staff; workloads, career progression and job security; reallocating funds away from the latest bright and shiny fad; introducing transparency and accountability of management; fair dinkum staff and student involvement in decision making; and not just acknowledging, but dealing with the real impacts of gender discrimination.
