Institutions such as the University of Melbourne are the enemy of the people.
In 2022, it ran a series of workshops literally devoted to 'Undoing Australia'.
Are there any other institutions in this country which are so overt about their aims to destroy the nation? And who holds them accountable?

“Education is central to the continuation of Western Civilisation because it transmits the collective wisdom, skills, and values that allow societies to flourish, innovate, and sustain themselves across generations. However, it may just be that after thousands of years, ours is the first civilisation which is brought down by what is being taught in schools and universities. A combination of the erosion of critical thinking, abandonment of the pursuit of knowledge, obsession with political activism, high rates of illiteracy and numeracy and the prioritisation of feelings over fact might well prove fatal for our institutions.”
The penultimate paragraph in the Introduction of ‘Mindless: How the Education System is Indoctrinating Children and Destroying Our Civilisation,’ the most recent book by Dr @belladabrera .
I’m about halfway through ‘Mindless’; it is forensic and brutally clear-eyed on the depth and breadth of the problem confronting us.

@Adam_Creighton No, but there is certainly plenty out there for 'diversity is our weakness.'

Is there any empirical evidence for "diversity is our strength"?
Genuine question.

Queensland is made richer when we celebrate our diversity, and it’s not often that I get to have Lebanese for lunch Our diversity is our strength - it’s why a future Labor Government would double funding for multicultural groups to hold events.

Modi visiting your country is the worst possible omen. Endless hordes of third worlders follow in his wake wherever he goes.
I cannot hate the man, though. It is our 'leaders' that betray us. Modi is simply doing what is best for India: spreading millions of leeches all over the world.

Whenever Modi visits a country - he wants visa deals to offload Indians 16 migration deals in 5 years

Well done @JasonclareMP. Flinders University is an excellent cultural fit for India.
In 2011, a cashier stole $27 million from the university. Between 2024-26, staff used corporate credit cards to rack up $6000 on coffees, lunches and Christmas parties. And then there's the widespread bullying, nepotism and dodgy recruitment practices highlighted by South Australia's ICAC. Perfect!

Great news.
Flinders University has now received approval to establish a university campus in India, joining seven other Australian unis approved to do this.
Victoria University has also now secured approval to commence teaching in India at their campus in Delhi.
Education is one of the most important bridges between Australia and India.
It's not a one way street. It's not just about Indian students studying in Australia.
It's increasingly about Australian universities taking the best of Australian education to India.
Great to hold an education roundtable with the university sector about this work today.

Not only are these academics traitors, they're racists too.
They actually held a seminar called 'Whiteness in Education', which told white people to stop being white. Because whiteness is not "innate" it's "learned."

Hopefully PM Modi's imminent visit will clarify reports India will build 1 million homes in Australia for US$500 billion

This is meant to be Australia's top university. 🙄

@DrewPavlou They will sooner decolonize themselves out a job than admit that a straight white man did something impressive.

If Captain Cook were alive today, he'd pay the $12 million himself to not be associated with James Cook University.

@belladabrera @History_Reclaim The head librarian from one regional Victorian library network noted that your wonderful book did not meet its guidelines. I wonder what their guidelines seek to achieve?
English

@SharonM76880019 @History_Reclaim Good question! The book has also been banned from the State Library of NSW as well as up and down the east coast.

@Stewie8t @History_Reclaim Agreed, @stewie8t, the sector doesn't just need reform, it needs a total overhaul.

Australian universities have a long history of silencing the truth, starting with the shameful treatment of Professor Geoffrey Blainey in the 1980s.
The model is broken. There is no longer a point to our universities.

@lukedowning @History_Reclaim Indeed @lukedowning , thereby proving that truth can only exist once you are free of the university

@belladabrera @History_Reclaim Prof Blainey went onto bigger and better things anyway

@ThoseWhoSpeakCC @belladabrera I’ve almost finished reading this book. Robustly researched and vitally important to western societies. Will look forward to listening!
