Interested in an academic career in political science? Do you want to work in a vibrant department with friendly colleagues? Interested in climate governance or EU studies? Do to live close to nature, but also enjoy a vibrant cultural scene? Appreciate a good work-life balance?

Which groups mobilise on #climate policy in Australia?
📣 Darren Halpin and I have a new paper out in @environmentalpol.bsky.social that systematically maps who mobilises on climate policy in Australia, what side of the issue they fall on, and in which arenas they mobilise.
Key finding include 🧵

Wow I am blown away by this new data on Australia's climate views
Highest levels of outright science denial since 2009. Highest level of 'gov't is doing too much' (!!!)
And more people afraid of 'self aware AI' than climate.
What a nightmare set of results

Well apparently the US is not the only nation turning its back on science...🤔
This is obscene.
The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds.
While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.
