  • In short: The ANU has announced it will no longer invest in certain weapons companies in the long-term, following months of pressure from pro-Palestinian student groups.

  • The university said its council had decided that its "long term investment pool [would] not invest in controversial weapons manufacturers and civilian small arms manufacturers".

  • What's next? Pro-Palestinian students on campus say their protest action will continue until further demands are met by the university.

That's a great start! Congrats to the students and the communities who stood in solidarity to help them stay there.
