The Indy travels through the archives and has a look at the top stories in June.

Defence manufacturer Marand Precision Engineering announced the expansion of its Geelong operations following a $50 million partnership extension with German-based Rheinmetall.

Car manufacturing giant Ford announced 400 job cuts, more than a fifth of its Australian workforce, with most impacted staff working in the Geelong area.

Geelong council approved its 2023-24 budget, reversing some funding cuts after backlash from the community but still leaving Geelong libraries with a more than $400,000 shortfall, and also announced Ali Wastie would be the City’s new chief executive.

Deakin University was named in the top one per cent of universities worldwide in the 2023 QS World University Rankings.
