That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

If I want to buy Aussie, I check for the thing that tells me where it was made - not the colour of the pack. Woolies saying dairy production is down... Like they're not responsible because they've been underpaying for dairy for decades, causing it to be an unsustainable industry 🙄 Fuck em, and Coles

"while Labor’s support for net zero creates no danger for the fossil fuel industry, it creates significant danger for our democracy as millions of voters are tricked into believing that they are voting to tackle climate change, when in reality they are voting for fossil fuel expansion"
Like ‘housing affordability’ ‘net zero’ has become one of those meaningless political sayings
Labors support for net zero hasn’t stopped them supporting new coal or gas or from spending billions on fossil fuel subsidies
