"It comes as the federal government is under mounting pressure to respond to the US attacks on scientific funding." @caitlinecassidy.bsky.social

I'd be telling the US govt to FRO.
And seek partners who were more reliable, and not driven by anti-science ideology.

Australia's science agency sent questions from Trump administration asking if it is taking ‘appropriate measures’ against gender ideology
Other questions include whether science organisation receives funding from China and whether it is a climate or ‘environmental justice’ project

"You know they have a denaturalization commission now? A group that will look at American citizens and say, 'We think you're actually an illegal immigrant,' and they will strip you, retrospectively, of your citizenship."

More jaw-dropping evidence today from former ABC Content boss Chris Oliver-Taylor. Apparently Nick Leys asked him an email exactly what policy Antoinette Lattouf had breached. Oliver-Taylor didn't email back. He still doesn't seem to be too clear on what she actually did wrong, even today.

He was as bad if not worse than Scott Morrison . The judge could not possibly regard him as a truthful witness

And somewhere today there's an air traffic controller who was doing their best in an understaffed situation and will have to cope with this tragedy for the rest of their lives ... probably without support from their employer who created the situation in the first place.
They have my sympathy 💙

For those disgusted by Dutton’s nuclear policy scam, but equally disgruntled by Labor’s ties to the big coal and gas companies, can we screw the duopoly by adding the #voteXbench hashtag to our posts over the coming months? Let’s make this a thing - screw the corruption from both sides.

No nation state is above criticism. You can criticise Israel's actions and policies without it being anti-semitic. It does not make Jewish people safer by conflating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.

No information yet about the perpetrators or motives yet Wong is already banging on about Antisemitism. The woman is totally beholden to a foreign lobby. We really need to rid ourselves of this government at the next election.

As you'd expect, Speers tells us that Birmingham is "a leading moderate within the Liberals". 🙄

Apart from marriage equality, he's supported every regressive, hard-right position from Morrison & Dutton.
And has been full-on in defence of Israel's genocide. #auspol

By allowing only one day for submissions regarding the proposed legislation it's obvious that there was a goal to minimise the number of submissions to be returned within the timeframe. I suspect 15000 is probably 14900 more than they expected... #auspol
