@BretlynB Some unis (including mine) are already above cap. Without backing his rhetoric up domestic growth is going to drag a lot of the sector down, not up
English
Second time in recent times that the Minister is promoting domestic students and their growth. I think this is going to be a theme for the next 12 months.
He is going to have to be cautious because one of roadblocks to growth is "managed growth domestic caps" on providers.

Great to be at @UNSW today talking about the record number of Australian students starting uni this year.

@AndrewHayen Hey man, a citation is a citation. These ones should count double :p

In the past year, two articles have been published with my name listed as an author. I had no idea about these articles until today:
📄 Annals of Dental Specialty (lnkd.in/gh4W8jjj)
📄 Turkish Journal of Public Health Dentistry (lnkd.in/guSX_Hw4)

@BretlynB Still wrapping head around how bad this is for regional unis. Gov said aim to shift from metro & get back to pre-pandemic levels but regionals down ~5800 places from '19 (based on artificially low MD107 impacted '23 levels) so will have opposite effect to gov's stated aims

Highest concentration of International students 2023
46% Sydney
41% Melbourne
40% ANU
39% UNSW
39% UQ
39% Murdoch
35% Federation
33% Monash
33% Victoria
Everyone one of these universities has an increase from 2019 to 2025; except Federation.
Most are in a capital city.
What problem are we trying to solve here?

@Andy_Hazel We go to Woodford most years explicitly because it is a family-friendly way to get our festival fix. Big enough to escape for respite if needed and there is even a children's festival part of it. NYE is the only really boozy night with different crowd mix from all other days
English
Does Australia have a family-friendly music festival? The UK has Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, Wychwood, Latitude, Bluedot, Eden, Big Feastival and heaps more.
Bluesfest and Woodford seem music and booze-focused. Am I missing something? Its seems like a huge opportunity.

@franklinleonard We lived in the US for first year of our daughter's life & when we took her to kid's beginner swim lessons at 3mo they thought we were crazy & didnt know what ro do (next youngest was 4yo). We took her when we moved back to Oz & she was one of oldest in beginner class at 14mo.
English
Doesnt have to disappear. In our house we still call music "nubip", mangoes "fanangoes"; elephants "oshleks" and talk about how we're "cement to" do things.

@fullregard2009 @GunnerTas It is actually one of the proposals being put forward for Lismore's post-flood rebuild and making it more resilient llnr.com.au/lookahead

Some random small city in Australia should decide to just stop sprawling and instead build a bunch of dense housing and become super walkable and bikeable and awesome to live in haha wouldn't that be cool.

@beneltham Mate, totally on board for the Dutton take down but you come after the water bears you come after all of us
English
@beneltham It honestly beggars belief. It is arguably the strongest diplomatic soft power tool Oz has. Russia and China are actively jumping into the vacuum Oz, UK, Canada are creating (e.g. China offering 200+ PhDs to every Pacific country to create pro-China graduates but Oz won't gov 1)

I can't believe I have to write this, but educating international students is actually a good thing for Australia

Super excited to be part of this @SCUonline led MRFF project launching a world-first stepped care approach (#naturebased, #visualarts and #psychedelic interventions) to assist treatment resistant #PTSD from #naturaldisasters associated with #climatechange
Ruben Laukkonen@RubenLaukkonen
I’m honoured to share that our team at @SCUonline has been awarded $3.8m from the MRFF to research a world first stepped-care, #MDMA-assisted-therapy trial for #PTSD in a disaster context. It will be the largest #psychedelic clinical trial in #Australia. More importantly...

@Pollytics Not only that, but State governments *charge* universities (and therefore indirectly the students) hundreds of dollars per day per student trainee in health placements
English
We ask people from most professions that hold other people's lives in their hands to study for four years without pay.
The solution to the 'law enforcement' problem isn't to lower the bar and give every applicant a pat on the head, a biscuit and a financial participation trophy
Chris Minns@ChrisMinnsMP
It's not fair to ask police trainees to study for four months without pay. So we're going to pay them.

@drmikenz But academia is the most flexible job in the world. You can choose whatever 80 hours a week you want to work
