CW: My time on the ANU council showed me a system designed to fail for its people - Full article
The council must meet urgently, and extend an invitation to all staff and students to observe proceedings. At such a meeting, the council should address not only the immediate reforms necessary to fix their own body, but also strengthen the very institutions that brought us to this point. Funding for student organisations cannot be controlled by the very institution that they seek to hold accountable. Staff cannot organise to protect their ability to teach when they lack certainty of employment. Council has the power to change not only the immediate composition of its own body; it can change the very landscape of ANU for years or even decades to come.
In 1974, more than a hundred students occupied the ANU Chancellery building to demand student representation on council. The then-chancellor, H. C. "Nugget" Coombs, responded by saying he preferred "activism, even if impolite, over apathy." How lacking such a presence of mind has been these last few years, yet how different the ANU would be if his outlook had prevailed in its most recent leadership.

CW: My time on the ANU council showed me a system designed to fail for its people - Full article
As the community-led ANU Governance Project raised in its final report, there are many crucial reforms ANU must undertake to avoid repeating past mistakes. Recommendations such as a representative university senate, directly electing chancellors, and elected representatives comprising a permanent majority on council are smart and suitable.
But what my time on council with Bishop taught me was that the failures of the cults of personality that abound so recklessly across our universities' boardrooms are systemic. A democratic university would not produce a better outcome because the calibre of elected representative is necessarily higher than that of a ministerial appointment. Rather, democracy understands success not as a personal undertaking, but a process of accountability.
A democracy is not merely an election of representatives. It includes and requires the institutions that create the social norms of healthy civic engagement. Australian national democracy cannot function without free media, a right to freedom of association, and public access to parliamentary debates. It is institutions of this nature that remain the fundamental blind spot in discussions about our universities. Our intuitive grasp of the necessary building blocks of democracy can evaporate when we attempt to apply such considerations to a university.
The ANU has lively student media publications, along with a student union that represents every student. Yet student media and representative organisations are funded almost entirely by the university itself, which could defund them at any moment through their complete control over student-services fees. The staff union showed immense courage in challenging Renew ANU, yet their power remains hampered by the mass casualisation of tertiary education, leaving staff in permanently precarious positions.

CW: My time on the ANU council showed me a system designed to fail for its people - Full article
During my tenure, Bishop's leadership style can only be described as dictatorial, an approach enabled by the appointees. Requests to meet for longer, more regularly, and to spend more time on particular agenda items (usually originating from the elected representatives on council) were consistently rejected, or more tellingly, simply ignored.
Bishop would repeatedly rush through agendas, sometimes citing impending plane flights as a motivator for brushing aside members' fair concerns. More explicitly, I was told on multiple occasions by non-elected council members how "lucky" I was that council did not exclude student voices entirely, and that I should always keep in mind how precarious my position was on the council. There were repeated references to other university governing bodies that supposedly, as I was told, instituted practices to exclude elected student representatives from substantial discussion and decisions.
It is easy to think of the ANU governance crisis as one of personalities and individuals, but as always, it is structures and systems that create our greatest failures. Despite our many political differences, the ministerial appointees were undoubtedly intelligent and capable high-achievers in their respective fields.
So where did it all go wrong? How did a room of experienced operators proceed to alienate an entire community and bring regulatory wrath upon themselves? There was no shortage of feedback; plenty of voices were in the room telling the appointees at the other end of the table that there was a problem.
Many appointed members repeatedly expressed their disdain for community perspectives; they believed that students and staff were too close to their communities to represent ANU's interests appropriately and with due diligence. It is this disdain that underpins the gap between the obvious capability of many appointees and the abject governance failure we've seen play out so publicly.
With only nine remaining council members currently serving, a democratic majority now holds the balance of power; the time has come for a bold statement. This historic five-member bloc comprises two academic and one professional staff representative, alongside a pair of student undergraduate and postgraduate representatives. Current legislation empowers this group to call an out-of-session council meeting, to constitute a valid quorum for that meeting, and to pass most motions by a simple majority of those present.
The currently elected representatives of council have an opportunity, even obligation, to call such a meeting to assure the community that the crisis will subside. This meeting should be held publicly, allowing the community an opportunity to observe a deliberation on the democratisation of their university.

Christian Flynn 22 May 2026
[Christian Flynn was the ANU Students' Association President and the Undergraduate Member of ANU Council in 2022. Christian began studying at ANU in 2018, graduating with a Law and Arts degree in 2024; he now works as a lawyer.]
The Australian National University is currently the only Australian university with a democratically elected majority of representatives on its governing board. This moment offers a glimpse for a brighter future.
In less than a month, six out of 15 members of the ANU's governing body have resigned. This comes after years of poor financial decision-making, allegations of bullying, and an irrecoverable breach in trust between management and community.
ANU's precipitous decline in international rankings, national prestige, and community esteem stem from a multitude of governance failures delivered by an unaccountable corporatised leadership. I spent years as a student advocate at ANU, including a year on the council itself alongside Julie Bishop, and it has left me convinced that only a democratic council can repair ANU.
I sat on ANU council from December 2021 to November 2022 as the student-elected undergraduate member. I worked directly alongside Bishop as well as several ministerial appointees, who have all now resigned. Two things have stuck with me from that time.
The first is the concerted dedication of elected students and staff to fully understanding council matters, duly asking questions and raising concerns that only those substantially involved in a community would know to ask. I served alongside committed individuals selected by their peers, who brought a vitality to council and a belief that things could improve through their effortful engagement.
The second takeaway I had was the sheer arrogance of many appointed members. A clear divide existed in my time at council between elected and appointed members. Appointees' opinions were consistently more highly valued and sought by senior leadership, and the function of council itself heavily favoured the soft power of the chancellor.
While details on the reasoning for the resignations of the ministerial appointees are still coming to light, my experience was that most ministerial appointees exhibited a deep admiration and even reverence for Bishop. They remained consistently unwilling or uninterested in challenging her, and would regularly hold asides outside of council with her to seek her support, a privilege not afforded elected representatives.

The EU is replicating this architecture at policy level. The SEAL framework permits "non-European technologies" to provide sovereign cloud. S3NS (Thales-Google) is the concrete example.
Control plane ownership is the distinction between sovereignty and servitude.

You can diversify your compute. You can move infrastructure. But if a vendor still controls your orchestration layer—the thing that decides which services run where—you're still completely dependent on them.
Railway solved for geographic diversity. They failed to solve for vendor diversity.

Railway.com spent £8 million annually on Google Cloud. They learned from prior incidents, so they moved workloads to colocation in 2024. Then Google suspended their account without warning.Why? They kept their control plane with Google.

The crisis of trust is one of the defining challenges of our time. It threatens the stability of countries, the effectiveness of economies, and the cohesion of communities.
However, it is not an insurmountable obstacle. History has shown that societies can recover from periods of deep distrust and emerge stronger. The path forward requires a collective commitment to cooperation, truth, transparency, and accountability. It demands that we move beyond cynicism and engage in the hard work of rebuilding the foundations of our social contract.
