The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol
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.

Brilliant commentary from Deb Kilroy & Tabitha Lean. Calling out the lack of respect shown to all sorts of women & girls by so many anti-trans extremists, with their sudden interest in women's sport, prison conditions & toilets! They're as see-through as a cyclone-wire nightie.

finished goods that simply contain PFAS, such as clothing or cookware. The agency says this change would reduce costs for businesses.

Loosening the rules could hide important information about where PFAS are used and how they spread.

The EPA has proposed easing some reporting rules for “forever chemicals,” known as PFAS man-made compounds found in many products that don’t break down in the environment. The plan would exempt certain cases, like very small amounts of PFAS (under 0.1%), chemicals made only as byproducts, and

A very simple reform would be for the state to pay child support, and charge liable parents themselves. I’m pretty confident the government would mysteriously improve its capacity to recover the money when it wasn’t single parents going out of pocket.
Australia’s current child support debt is the highest it has been in a decade. As of December 2024, $1.9 billion was owed, with 153,694 non-payers. While interest on unpaid amounts is payable to the government, it’s not passed on to the parents who are owed
It is a criminal offence not to file tax returns on time, but the penalty is paltry. Meanwhile, thousands of Australian fathers are able to avoid child support payments by not filing returns, working cash in hand, hiding money in trusts or moving overseas. satpa.pe/qGOX9ZU

Which is why we're going to use police powers to stop a person’s welfare payment before any court process. Just like Jesus would have wanted.
At the Christian prayer breakfast this week, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland said that the “principles and values that Jesus lived by underpin the role of Australia’s first law officer” and claimed that “our values and faith” guide lawmakers. Read more: rationalist.com.au/australias-a...
