CSIRO 350 job cuts a damning indictment on Government priorities, misses 'golden opportunity' on research
The announcement this week that CSIRO are to cut 350 research jobs is another damning indictment on Australia’s ongoing failure to prioritise research and development.

When the Epstein Files are finally
released paedophilia will be a step too far for evangelicals, hopefully.With Trump facing jail I expect the stable genius to then be diagnosed with dementia. It will be necessary to pursue his enablers. They must already be looking for their exit #epstein

UN approval of Gaza ‘Stabilisation Force’ slammed as ‘Denial of Palestinian self-determination’
CodePink said the plan “will leave Palestine in the hands of a puppet administration, assigning the United States, which shares complicity in the genocide, as the new manager of the open-air prison.”

One small(!) point. The way the debate has been engaged in over the last decade, asylum seekers have been conflated with illegal immigrants, illegal immigrants conflated with legal immigrants, and immigrants conflated with all ethnic minorities, you can’t attack one group without attacking all.

'Australian values' according to whom, FFS? Given that most of the Libs' policies now seem straight from the 1970s, I'd be fairly sceptical they have the remotest idea what this country's values actually are.

‘Pry open the jaws of Treasury’ to fund CSIRO amid hundreds of job losses, Labor MP Ed Husic tells own party
Husic, who oversaw CSIRO cuts as the former science minister, said some in government see scientific agency funding as a ‘cost’ not an ‘investment’
Ed Husic has challenged his own government to “pry open the jaws of Treasury” to boost funding for Australia’s national scientific agency after it announced up to 350 research jobs would be cut to deal with an imminent budgetary cliff.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) announced on Wednesday it would look to cut between 300 and 350 research unit roles as part of efforts to narrow its research scope and address an ageing property portfolio in need of urgent modernisation. Continue reading...

If Victoria is serious about real, material, lasting safety, it must abandon punishment and invest in the conditions that allow children to thrive. Long sentences don’t deter. They don’t heal. They don’t prevent harm. #auspol #Vicpol #youthjustice

Freedom from bombs and bullets.
I've never wanted to plant tomatoes on our farm in Rafah as much as now.
But our land lies on the other side of a yellow line.
