Independent Member for Clark, Andrew Wilkie, has called on the Prime Minister to use his Washington trip to negotiate the release of Australian journalist Julian Assange with his new partners in the AUKUS alliance.
“Mr Assange should be at home with his young family, watching his two little boys grow up,” Mr Wilkie said. “But instead he’s languishing in one of the United Kingdom’s most notorious prisons after recently losing a British High Court battle to stop the United States Government from expanding its appeal against an earlier refusal to allow his extradition. A full appeal hearing is expected next month.

Despite the efforts of some of the world's largest foreign private universities to set up shop in Australia, none have yet succeeded in making a profit from selling higher education - or even attracting significant numbers of students.
Carnegie Mellon University – Australia’s Executive Director and Distinguished Professor of Public Policy, Terry Buss, will present on ‘Managing the Global University in Australia’ at the upcoming Inaugural Australian Private Higher Education Conference from 14 – 15 June 2012.
Selected private colleges and TAFEs will soon benefit from the easy-street student visa processing arrangements already enjoyed by universities, under immigration reforms signed off today in Canberra.
Private higher education has grown so rapidly that it now represents 50 per cent of providers and 10 per cent of students, according to a new analysis.
FEE-HELP loans, underwritten by the federal government, have helped bankroll expansion of private higher education. By last year, non-university providers accounted for 29 per cent of $1 billion in FEE-HELP funding, compared with just nine per cent in...
Private colleges say the uncapping of publicly subsidised higher education places has helped rather than hindered them, as an increasing pool of would-be students rejects universities.
Six private colleges in Australia will be included for the first time in the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) application process, which will give the private sector greater weight, writes Jen Rosenberg for The Sydney Morning Herald.
Private higher education colleges will have to wait at least a few more years before they can access government teaching funds, a Sydney conference heard yesterday.
THE Greens say inadequate funding and regulation, not the open training market, are at the root of the problems facing vocational education and training. Greens higher education spokeswoman Lee Rhiannon told a Sydney conference that there was a role for private colleges in VET.
Over the past 60 years a great sea change has occurred in the field of education. In 1950, education, whether in schools, technical colleges or universities, was effectively a state monopoly. Yes, there were Catholic schools and a few Protestant ones, but these two functioned as sidekicks of the great public education system.
Commonwealth funding for university places should be extended to private providers to encourage wider participation in higher education, a Victorian government panel has recommended.
Private higher education providers want fair competition for students. A new national regulatory body will be formed and universities will have to undergo the same accreditation process as private providers. The measures were welcomed by Andrew Smith, CEO of the Australian Council for Private Education & Training.
The collapse of a number of private Australian vocational colleges over the past year is damaging the nation's image abroad, according to angry students, many of them Indian, who have been left high and dry with their visas at risk.
Private schools still dominate university offers in Victoria despite the Gillard government's massive increase in places, with 85 per cent of applicants securing an offer compared with 71 per cent for government schools.
Nearly a fifth of Australian private colleges are "permanent residency factories", a new report in the education sector has revealed. The education sector, which is the country's third largest export industry, has been affected by a string of assaults on international students, particularly Indians. The claims of exploitation of overseas students have also not helped matters.
Open markets for training funds have crippled some commercial colleges, according to the peak body ACPET, which says governments need to consider the impacts of their policies on private as well as public providers.
Angry nurses have attacked the Federal Government after a private university was yesterday promised a cash handout only months after Sydney University's nursing faculty was told it would be axed.
In the next two months, young Australians will experience the joy and heartache accompanying the arrival of year 12 results and, for those who make it, the decisions about tertiary courses. For those who succeed in qualifying for a university place, there should be a reasonable expectation that in a country that aspires to have a knowledge economy, such a place will be available. Yet the reality is vastly different. Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee figures show that this year up to 7000 eligible Victorian students, and 24,300 nationally, missed out.
Australia's first private higher-education institution, Bond University in Queensland, has lost a court bid for control of its campus and now faces possible eviction.

Vocational education providers appear to be another victim of the Gillard government's push against foreign workers after it failed to implement a promise to streamline visas for overseas students.
This contrast between elite private colleges and public schools should have reignited the debate over state aid. But that was effectively shut down 40 years ago when a federal Labor government began propping up poor Catholic schools until, over time, every private school was receiving grants.
VIctoria's mercurial training market has hit a wall, with enrolments declining for the first time since government training funds were fully opened up to private colleges.

BOND University at Robina has been listed in the prestigious global top 20 universities in the Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings of the Best Small Universities in the World. The private, not-for-profit university placed number 20 in the global ranking thanks to its personalised teaching philosophy and outstanding student experience which translates to extraordinary student satisfaction ratings. The Best Small Universities list acknowledges universities with an unparalleled reputation for delivering personalised learning and creating an environment that fosters a strong sense of community. It is topped by the California Institute of Technology (CalTech) which is also ranked this year as the second best overall university in the world, behind Oxford. Bond University is the only university in the southern hemisphere to be included in the global top 20. Bond University Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Tim Brailsford, said the ranking was recognition of Bond’s never-ending and priority focus on the students and their learning experience. “Our point of difference has always been creating an environment that focuses on a personalised approach to learning and a student’s education, so that each and every student has the opportunity to realise their ambition; and this global ranking is recognition that we are delivering on our promise,” he said. “There are some truly outstanding universities in this list and we are quite humbled to be included in such company. “For one of Australia’s youngest universities we have come a long way in a very short period of time.” Bond was also recently ranked as Australia’s number one university for student experience for the 11th consecutive year in the 2017 Good Universities Guide. Business student Alice Ringelstein said she chose to study at Bond because of its smaller size, which enabled her to spend more one-on-one time with her teachers and gain the most out of her experience. “The small class sizes at Bond have given me the opportunity to participate in stimula
Girls who finished year 12 at a private school are most likely to go to university, as the gap between independent, Catholic and government school students who go on to higher education widens to its highest level in recent years. Private school students were nearly 15 per cent more likely to go to university in 2016 than students at Catholic schools, and nearly 24 per cent more likely than government school students, according to a new report by the Australian National University on what NSW secondary students go on to do after leaving school. The growing gap can be attributed to the number of Catholic students going to university falling significantly from 62.5 per cent in 2015 to 53.9 per cent in 2016. At the same time, the number of private school students going to university grew from 64.3 per cent to 68.7 per cent.

A euthanasia advocate, who was convicted in June after assisting in the death of Alzheimer's sufferer Graeme Wylie, has taken her life. Caren Jenning, 75, who was convicted of being an accessory to manslaughter after helping Mr Wylie take a lethal dose of veterinary drug Nembutal, had been suffering breast cancer.
In a blow to the euthanasia movement, a jury has found one woman guilty of the manslaughter and another an accessory to the manslaughter of Alzheimer's sufferer and former Qantas pilot Graeme Wylie. Mr Wylie's partner Shirley Justins, 59, and his long-term friend Caren Jenning, 75, were accused of plotting to kill him. Justins was found guilty of manslaughter and Jenning of being an accessory to manslaughter. Mr Wylie, 71, died in March 2006 from an overdose of the veterinary drug Nembutal, which Jenning had bought and illegally imported from Mexico, and which Justins had given to him in their Cammeray home.
Typically anorexia nervosa is diagnosed as a condition of teenage girls where the rates of mortality and morbidity are very high and recovery rates very low. This chapter discusses the condition as experienced in Australia by older women who have either lived with anorexia during adolescence and as young women or who have been diagnosed later in life. The discussion traverses issues of consent to treatment or its refusal, capacity to provide consent, and the application of human right protections arising from various human rights instruments.
Ganzini and colleagues’ finding that 3 of the 18 Oregonians who received a prescription for a lethal drug met caseness criteria for depression raises concerns about the state’s Death with Dignity Act, which demands a psychiatric review only if "concern exists that the patient has a psychiatric disorder." We know that depression is common in the terminally ill and that depression may be successfully treated in this population. We know that depression may impair a person’s capacity when requesting physician assisted suicide, and we know that non-psychiatrically trained physicians are poor at detecting depression. We also know that these four facts are true for delirium in patients who are terminally ill. There is a strong argument for including mandatory psychiatric review in any legislation that enables physician assisted death, to detect and protect those who would not have requested assistance to die had they not been depressed or delirious.
At least 200 terminally-ill people from Australia, Britain, New Zealand and the United States have visited Mexico since 2001 to buy a euthanasia drug, a newspaper has reported. The Mexican newspaper Reforma cited Exit International - the mercy killing organisation run by Australian euthanasia advocate Phillip Nitschke that promotes Mexico as a destination for patients seeking to end their lives. "On the basis of Exit research, the best places to visit are the 20-odd (United States-Mexico) border crossings, from Tijuana in California through to Matamoros on the Gulf of Mexico," the group says on its website.
Exit International is the world's leading Voluntary Euthanasia & Assisted Suicide information and advocacy organisation. A registered non-profit organisation, Exit was founded in 1997 by Philip Nitschke. In 1996, Dr Nitschke became the first physician to administer a legal, lethal voluntary injection, under the world's first right to die law - the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act of the Northern Territory of Australia.
An Australian doctor stopped at Heathrow Airport when he arrived to hold workshops on euthanasia has been granted leave to stay in UK. Philip Nitschke was interviewed under the Immigration and Asylum Act after arriving from Australia on Saturday. Dr Nitschke plans to hold a workshop in Bournemouth, Dorset, on Tuesday to talk about assisted suicide.
VANCOUVER, B.C. — An Australian right-to-die group that wants to teach seriously ill patients how to end their lives has been turned away by the Vancouver public library over concerns that such an event could violate laws that prohibit assisted suicide. Melbourne-based Exit International wants to hold a workshop in November that would include information about which drugs patients can take to kill themselves, how to obtain them and how to take them. The Vancouver Public Library initially took the booking, but has since cancelled after receiving legal advice from its lawyers and local police, said central librarian Paul Whitney. "The library was told in what, for lawyers, I would describe as fairly unambiguous language that the program as presented by Exit International would be in contravention of the Criminal Code," Whitney said Monday. Federal law makes it a crime to counsel, aid or abet someone to kill themselves.
This research briefing was prepared in conjunction with a workshop organised by the ESRC Genomics Policy and Research Forum, held on Thursday 8 October at the ESRC Genomics Network Conference 2009, Welsh Assembly, Cardiff. This workshop brought together new research on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 from current PhD students and recent PhD graduates, from the ESRC Genomics Network and beyond.
