What Debt Demands
Family, Betrayal, and Precarity in a Broken System - Kristin Collier (interviewed)

Statement Regarding
Reorganisation Proposal

FRIDAY 12 DECEMBER 2025

State Library Victoria's commitment to the people of
this state has never been stronger. As we look to the
future, we remain steadfast in our role as Victoria’s
major research and reference library - a world-class
collecting institution and a trusted guardian of our
shared history.

The Library developed a Reorganisation Proposal to
strengthen its services in response to surging demand
and to better manage the new and different ways that
people are engaging with the Library.

Some elements of the Proposal, however, created
unintended concerns. After careful consideration of
feedback received during the consultation period, the
Library has decided to withdraw the Reorganisation
Proposal, so that we can refine our approach and ensure
it best supports our community, our staff and our long-
term vision.

Defending schools is a growing challenge for rattled educators in cities where heavily armed men in tactical vests are snatching people from the arms of loved ones and from the streets that lead to school.

#EscapeCampus (and their sibling company #VerboEducation) has bled its teachers dry — breaking contracts, delaying wages, and forcing staff onto bogus “self-employed” deals.
