Changing the rules beyond the election (Advocate 26 02)

Higher education in the election aftermath (Advocate 26 02)
While the ALP and Greens had well-developed and strongly supported policies, higher education and research were not prominent issues in the 2019 Federal election. This suited the Coalition, who were no doubt happy to keep higher education issues below the policy parapets. More...

NTEU moves from plastic to digital cards (Advocate 26 02)
Digital cards are more secure, more convenient, more environmentally friendly and do not have expiry dates. Not issuing plastic cards saves the Union a considerable amount of money in printing and postage. More...

Back to basics for New Zealand’s Tertiary Education Strategy (Letter from NZ/Aotearoa, Advocate 26 02)

Coalition creeps back in (Lowering the Boom, Advocate 26 02)
After setting out in the last issue why the Coalition deserved to be voted out of office, I was comforted by opinion polls consistently showing that would happen.
