After a long break, Our Experts Have Observed is back – with the same beloved quality, but wrapped in a fresh new look. New hosts, new formats, new guests. Stay tuned!

But for our very first episode, we’re kicking things off just the way we know and love: with a news episode featuring our familiar podcast hosts, Mac and Saffron. 

So what was on in week 5?

The ANU paused forced redundancies until the remainder of 2025. That means there will be no further forced stuff cuts in 2025, but what will happen afterwards is not yet defined.

On the 21st of August, ANU students participated in a historical student referendum for Palestine. 

Sticker‘s of the neo-nazi group NSN have been found around campus. The BIPOC department urges everyone to report the stickers, but not to remove them as raisers placed under the stickers might cause harm. 

And lastly, the ANU removed the BIPOC mural for a second time, stating the mural would hurt the poster policy of the university

See you after the break!
