While there are hundreds of millions of dollars set aside by the State Government to cover the costs of creating the merged Adelaide University, Timothy Miles writes that there are plenty of other costs to consider given the rushed timeframe.
The state government’s higher education policy unit has not done any risk assessment on the agreed merger of the University of Adelaide and UniSA or asked the universities for their business case, an inquiry has been told.
The Government has announced that we will all have a day off to commemorate the life of Queen Elisabeth. Act has come out against it on the basis that we are in a cost of living crisis, even though the adverse effect on workers and the poor is essentially nil and even though there is analysis that suggests that holidays are good for the economy.
