Sign now to defend our ABC from Murdoch's attacks! getup.to/lOCgCeKNSE

The ABC has been under constant attack from the Murdochracy for many decades. And in more recent decades conservative politicians and “think tanks” like the IPA have stepped up negativity & attacks against OUR ABC.
Defend our ABC!
Our ABC is under attack by far-right wreckers – we're fighting back.

BRAVE?... You're talking about Anthony Albanese a Zionist collaborator, a gutless sycophant who sold out Australian sovereignty to the Yanks with #AUKUS and will continue to support genocide from Gaza to the environment. #Auspol

This is a World Heritage listed area ... y'know, like Murujuga & the GBR. The least it - & the every other species on this planet - deserves is respect & protection. And, that, I understood is the responsibility of our respective governments. ie: you.

Unfortunately the scale tipped to mortality. Most of the data is showing that any coral that bleached in March went on to die.”

So now Australia will be making F35 fighter jet parts for Saudi Arabia. A country that Amnesty says ignores people’s basic human rights, restricts their freedoms and inflicts severe punishment. The regime also kills dissenters. No one even asked us.

Over my career working alongside those doing parliamentary advocacy, I have had a lot of folks try to tell me that various random federal ALP parliamentarians are actually decent humans, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I'm yet to be convinced for any of them except Ed Husic.

As a handful of us have been screaming for a long time now: there is no "ceasefire". The UN security council has approved the further colonisation of Gaza, and Israel is being rewarded for its genocide. It's still the 1700s in the West, we just have phones and cheap dopamine addictions now.
A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

This may have started under Abbot but Albanese has done more to end scientific research in Australia unrelated to monetised extractive industry, than any previous govt, ever. Including the nutty evangelical.
This is why for a long time I've found the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science a rather insulting propaganda exercise

www.abc.net.au/news/science...

CSIRO funding as a percentage of GDP:

1982-83 = 0.17

2024-25 = 0.03

...

Scientific extinction event imminent?
The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding
Australia is known as a country of innovators, but with a combination of brain drain, continuous cuts, and a loss of critical science projects, is Australia losing its edge?
