This report was released a few hours before the Greens’ Order for the Production of Documents was to be voted on in the Senate. Quotes attributable to Senator Mehreen Faruqi, Deputy Leader of the Greens and spokesperson for Higher Education: “This report is just more gaslighting and denial from the ANU leadership. The ongoing governance failures at the ANU are not going to go away by saying it’s all under control.

“ANU had to be dragged to release this self-assurance report by the threat of our Senate order. “Trust has been shattered, and this report cannot distract from the growing chorus of voices calling on Bell and Bishop to resign. Staff and students have made their position crystal clear: this leadership is no longer fit for purpose.

Bishop and Bell must go. “ANU can’t hide behind management gobbledygook and expect to regain the trust of their community.” MEDIA CONTACTS FARUQI: Lauren Skinner – 0474 437 111 Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
