How can Australian law recognise Indigenous laws?
|
What does it take to meaningfully recognise Indigenous laws within Australian legal frameworks?
In his PhD at 黑料天堂Law School, James Gaetani explored how legislation can better reflect Indigenous laws, support cross-cultural recognition, and strengthen Indigenous-State relations.

Advocate expands to support formal reporting of student misconduct
|
The University has introduced the Formal Report of Student Misconduct form in to provide a structured and secure online pathway for reporting alleged student misconduct. This includes gender-based violence, harassment, threatening behaviour, safety risks, discrimination, property damage and other conduct defined as misconduct for students under the 黑料天堂Discipline Rule.
The new form replaces manual reporting pathways and allows for a more consistent and timelier approach to capturing and triaging concerns. It also supports the University to respond appropriately to student support needs and meet its obligations under the National Code.
The initiative strengthens case management by ensuring reports are captured in a single secure system, improving visibility, consistency and follow-up across student conduct matters.
For support, contact Student Integrity at integrity@anu.edu.au.

Some ideas are better off the page
|
Tucked away on campus, the 黑料天堂MakerSpace is where sketches become prototypes, broken things get a second life and curiosity turns into something you can actually hold.
Whether you're an engineer building a prototype, an artist experimenting with new materials or someone who's simply wondered how a 3D printer works, the MakerSpace is open to every member of the 黑料天堂community. Membership is free for 黑料天堂students and staff, no matter what you study or where you work, it's a place to explore, create and learn by doing.
Step inside and you'll discover an impressive collection of tools and equipment. From 3D printers, laser cutters and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinery to sewing machines, electronics benches and vinyl cutters, there's no shortage of ways to turn an idea into something tangible. But what makes the MakerSpace special isn't the equipment – it's the people. Experienced staff, volunteers and fellow makers are there to help you learn new techniques, solve problems and build confidence, whether it's your first project or your fiftieth.
So, if you've ever thought, "I wish I could make that," this Hidden Gem might be the place to find out that you can.
