We've noted some of the recent challenges to higher education in Australia, but I'd be curious, as I imagine other readers would be, to hear from Australian academics about the pros and cons of academic life in Australia these days: about teaching loads, research support, budget cuts, bureaucratic interference with teaching and research, and so on. Obviously Australia continues to have many leading international centers of research in philosophy, and many other fields. The question is: what is it like for faculty these days? What are the challenges? What are the positives?
