    Oct 5, 2026 · original
    By Pia Bobeff and Will Cassell “Some of the biggest changes students need [including legislative reform] will take years,” Malakai King, the presidential candidate for the Elevate ticket, told Observer . However, Luka Knight, the Welfare Officer candidate under impact.’s ticket, claims that students can expect legislation to change within a year if his ticket are elected. “Leila Clarke, the current Welfare Officer and impact.’s presidential candidate, has been negotiating with the ACT government on legal protections for on-campus residents,” Knight told Observer . “I want to finish what Leila has started, and Impact will finish it.” Each elected ANUSA officer serves a term of one year, finishing on 30 November 2027.

    Oct 5, 2026 · original
    Pia Bobeff For many ANU students, it is a rite of passage to move out of college and into a sharehouse. Whether it is to escape the second-rate (at best) meals provided by catered colleges, to escape the relentless nagging by parents at home, or to simply live out your ‘Friends’ fantasy of living with all your friends, share housing can be confusing and stressful to navigate. Observer has sifted through all the information we could find and have obtained from our share house warriors to provide a comprehensive guide to finding a share house to hopefully make the process just that little bit less stressful. STEP ONE: FINDING ROOMMATES According to people currently residing in a share house, finding the right roommates is arguably the most important step. If looking to live with a group of friends, it is important to determine early on whether you have the same living expectations and if y

    Sep 29, 2026 · original
    By Jonny Hill On 17 September 2026, the second national protest led by high school and university students occurred in response to One Nation’s growing popularity. This followed the first national protest held on 13 August 2026. Hundreds of students across the country walked out of classes, including students in Canberra, who attended protests held at Garema Place from 1pm to 3pm. Observer interviewed Ell Lappin, a member of Socialist Alternative (SAlt) and chair of the most recent rally. Observer also spoke to Yerin Park, a member of SAlt and chair of the first rally, to discuss the impact of these protests. When asked what motivated the need for a second protest, Lappin explained that “after the first rally, there was a bunch of attacks on the high schoolers and university students that attended the rallies”. Lappin stated these attacks were “basically demeaning” towards “the positions

This year, polling will take place in Week 9, between 6 October to 9 October. All students will be sent an email with a link to the online voting site, QR codes will be accessible

    Sep 25, 2026 · original
    By Will Cassell A candidate in the ANU Students’ Association (ANUSA) election has defended their political poster, which has offended members of the ‘impact.’ ticket. The poster included the faces of senior candidates from the impact ticket, and targeted the affiliation of these candidates with the Australian Labor Party (ALP). Some members of the impact. ticket are not members of the ALP. It comes as the annual ANUSA election ramps up. “If candidates on Impact are unwilling to be publicly associated with the Labor party, then maybe they can take it off their LinkedIn first,” slayyyter4anusa told Observer . Asked to respond to the offence that the posters have caused against members of the Impact ticket, slayyyter4anusa said, “I’ve received no complaints, and if candidates feel personally targeted they should simply ask and we would remove it quickly”. “The logo was very deliberately lef

  8. Decoding The Fifth Floor: An Investigation Into The ANU x ASD Co-Lab
    Sep 21, 2026 · original
    By Pia Bobeff You may have seen the Hanna Neumann building as you make your way back and forth between lecture halls and colleges. But what so few of us have seen is the fifth floor, home to the ANU x ASD collaboration. The collaboration began in 2018 and arose during the Hanna Neumann building’s design process, which cost the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) $12 million. The building is adorned with code, including the fifth level’s glass meeting wall, which fit together to form a large codified message. This design is fitting, with David Jamieson , a cryptanalyst for the ASD, saying that “cryptography is a puzzle”, and that if people can decipher the coded signs throughout the building, they will understand what the collaboration entails. However, the fifth floor is perhaps the university’s biggest secret. It is accessible to only a select few, and according to the collaborations’

    Sep 19, 2026 · original
    By Dylan Voyles and Madeleine Crabtree Did you enjoy your last mid-semester break? Well, the university may have other plans for your next one. It was revealed at ANUSA’s latest Student Representative Council (SRC) meeting that since July this year, ANU management had been consulting on a proposal to move mid-semester exams into the mid-semester break. In a statement to Observer , the ANU said they had actually been consulting about this change since August. ANUSA was allegedly not brought into the discussion until early September. A motion was passed at the meeting, calling for the ANU to “delay deciding this change” until students had been consulted, and “to examine alternatives” to replacing the mid-semester break with an exam period. The ANUSA Education Committee (EdCom) has also launched a petition against the proposal, so far receiving over 1000 signatures. It labels the break as “
  10. Where Should The ANU’s ‘Equity Strategy’ Go Next?
    Sep 8, 2026 · original
    By Madeleine Crabtree Last month, the ANUSA Education Committee’s (EdCom) scholarship reform team ran a presentation to the ANU, to inform student perspectives and work leading into three University workshops on where the ANU’s ‘equity strategy’ should go. This comes in light of recent discourse surrounding the equity of scholarships at the ANU, particularly the Tuckwell Scholarship . EdCom’s Co-convener, Isabella Coombs, started the presentation by exploring the context of the university as it currently stands and why we find ourselves in a situation with underrepresented cohorts, especially when it comes to low socioeconomic status (SES) and regional/remote/rural (RRR) students. Coombs asserted that federal needs-based funding , introduced by the Australian Government from 1 January 2026, acted as an incentive for the ANU. It would be intended to increase student intake from these back
