A new project at The Australian National University (ANU) shifts from the Australian history told from our colonial beginnings to one told by Aboriginal people, with stories that connect their recent past to the ancient history of their traditional lands. Under the direction of the ANU Research Centre for Deep History, Professor Ann McGrath and mapping consultant Kim Mahood
The official cash rate should remain at a historic low of 0.1 per cent for at least one year, according to The Australian National University’s RBA Shadow Board. In its latest vote, the Shadow Board attaches a 95 per cent probability that an overnight cash rate of 0.1 per cent is the right setting, and only a five per cent probability that interest rates should rise.

Gravitational wave search no humdrum hunt

The gentle hum of a spinning neutron star is very faint and almost impossible to detect
The hunt for the never before heard hum of gravitational waves caused by mysterious neutron stars has just got a lot easier, thanks to an international team of researchers.
Gravitational waves have only been detected from black holes and neutron stars colliding, major cosmic events that cause huge bursts that ripple through space and time.
The research team, involving scientists from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC), Virgo Collaboration and the Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics (CGA) at The Australian National University (ANU), are now turning their eagle eye to spinning neutron stars to detect the waves.
To celebrate National Reconciliation Week 2021, ANU is hosting a panel discussion on this year's theme 'More than a word. Reconciliation takes action', which asks people to take this awareness and knowledge, and use it as springboard to more substantive, brave action. The panel will focus on the question, what could we change if First Nations people and non-Indigenous

What they have in common is their profound experience as Indigenous students at the national university. Ms King, from the Yuin and Waanyi people, came to ANU from a regional town to study a Bachelor of Arts specialising in psychology - she is in her final
