So to my unfamiliar self this sounds big. Does this mean all Australian universities will boycot Israeli universities?
No. This is union policy, not managements. Union policy is not binding on university management. This means the union has a national BDS policy (not just among some university union branches or union state divisions). This gives pro-Palestine staff more support, especially in the face of management crackdowns against Palestine solidarity on campuses and in the workplace.
