It sounds like in response to the ridiculous request from the Committee, the Tri Agency submitted data to the SRSR that is in line with the Privacy Act - the already publicly available information about grant recipients, projects, and amounts, as well as *aggregated* EDI information.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I know there are bigger things afoot in Politics, and that moving from a Con to a Lib is in most ways barely a move, but I'm a messy binch who loves a good floor crossing.
Though it will never be done as well as the Belinda Stronach move. I'm cackling to myself just remembering it.

I wish everyone has a chance to hear Fred Tate from the National Farmer's Union speak. He rouslingly spells out, so clearly, the void of public taxation/ regulation that is filled by corporate taxation and deregulation, all with the farmer's affect of barely moving his mouth.

🚨 My university just announced it's closing its Women & Gender Studies and Comparative Race & Ethnic Studies departments, merging them into English. The official reason? "Low enrollment." But our meeting with the provost tells a very different story about what's really happening here. 🧵
