100's of jobs cut at CSIRO when it has never been more important for govts to invest in science & research. Why can Labor find $$ for AUKUS but not our nation’s premier science, industry & research org? The Greens implore the Albanese government to commit funding & prevent cuts.

This is utter nonsense. That headline is just silly. I’m embarrassed for everyone that works at Crikey. I was right to stop my subscription years ago.

Sat Paper via Schwarz Gallery sacked an artist of theirs after 30 years for his Palestinian piece. Schwarz then bullied Louise Adler to drop Palestinian writers from Writers Week. To her credit she refused. I cancelled my sub to Sat Paper and boycott Schwarz media.

It's NOT a new realization.

👀What’s new this year? This is the first COP after the International Court of Justice released its historic advisory opinion on climate. The ICJ clarified that governments have a legal duty to phase out fossil fuels & to effectively prevent climate harm - a central topic at the global climate talks.
