Dear ~~first_name~~,
 
Last week, we made a submission to the Education and Employment Legislation Committee inquiry into ‘Australian Research Council Amendment (Ensuring Research Independence) Bill 2018’. We recommend ending the Ministerial veto. You can read the submission here.
 
In other news, we're excited to be able to share our logo for the first CHASS HASS Congress in Australia, see below:
