In this episode Claire is joined by Prof. Michael Wesley, Deputy Vice Chancellor Global, Culture and Engagement at the University of Melbourne to hear his views on what's happening in Australian higher education from both a domestic and international perspective.

In her introduction to the episode Claire briefly reflects on the recent Senate Committee hearing into the legislation to introduce the new Australian Tertiary Education Commission. If you're interested you can view a full replay of the hearing on the Senate's You Tube channel.

And if you're interested in the University of Melbourne's submission on the ATEC legislation, or any of the other submissions, you can find them on the Senate website.
