Lately, I've been going back over this quote by Winston Churchill:
"Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.”
Wonder if that's still true.

"That ‘multibillion’ industry? Well, according to the ATO it’s paid no tax since 2019. It did sell $4 billion worth of fish, yes. But profits went off-shore."

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇
90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free.
To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax.

Very glad that the Australian government has announced they will extend funding of the Anglo-Australian Telescope until at least 2027. So many surveys depend on this facility - which for so long has been a vehicle for bringing wonderful astronomers to Australia to use it and growing our community.

So we’re signed up for AUKUS with a country that openly defies/denies international law.

Great article from Josh Black, @australiainstitute.org.au fellow, on the proposed changes to Australian elections.
The biggest changes to the electoral donations laws in 40 years risk undermining democracy by favouring the major parties over independents.
Sweeping reform of the electoral laws puts democracy at risk. They shouldn’t be changed on a whim
