As election day nears, Woroni surveyed students on their thoughts on Australia’s political landscape.

The three most important issues to students were (in order of importance): climate change, cost of living and housing affordability.

Yesterday, ANU’s Postgraduate and Research Student’s Association (PARSA) released an open letter to the political parties and candidates running in the federal election on the key financial, social and environmental issues that postgraduate students in Australia currently face.

Woroni sat down with Senator Katy Gallagher to discuss her ongoing election campaign for the seat of the Australian Capital Territory. We asked her about climate change, territorial representation, a federal integrity commission, and her time at ANU, among other topics.

With the federal election race well under way, Woroni sat down with former ANU academic and Independent candidate for the ACT Senate Kim Rubenstein. We discussed Kim’s approach to a federal ICAC, climate action plan, and how her background in academia informs her candidacy.

As part of our election coverage, Woroni sat down with Tim Hollo, The Greens’ candidate for the electorate of Canberra, to discuss his campaign, particularly regarding issues related to students and the climate.

The Food Co-op is one of those institutions that everyone has visited at least once in their time at ANU. However the Food Co-op has found itself in financial trouble in the past twelve months and held a meeting on Saturday to discuss what they can do to save their home.
