Following powerful student-led collective action, we welcome reports Curtin University has committed to disclosing investments, research, learning and teaching ties with weapons manufacturers, foreign governments and the defence industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is thanks to the incredible commitment of Curtin students who have been camping out on campus for the past 23 days and nights, a powerful and genuine act of solidarity with the people of Gaza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it is disappointing Curtin University leadership has yet to agree to the student\u2019s request to immediately cut ties with all weapons companies like Lockheed Martin, Babcock Australasia and Huntington Ingalls Industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These students are on the right side of history. Their rights to peaceful protest must be respected and protected by the university. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Greens WA are in solidarity with students and staff peacefully protesting, and we look forward to supporting students in their next steps to achieve justice and a free Palestine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We support Palestine’s decades-long struggle to live with dignity and self-determination. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
