F'ing this! 👇
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

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.

The Albanese government is aggressively anti science while pretending it’s pragmatism.
Also relevant in Australia where contrary to all available evidence & advice from conservation science & environmental legal experts, the @albomp.bsky.social Labor govt is trying to insert #PayToDestroy biodiversity offsets into the #EPBC reform package
🌿 “You can't buy back biodiversity.” We agree with #CANBill supporter, Neil Duncan-Jordan MP, at the Planning Bill debate. Nature isn't a nice to have, it’s all we have. Restoring nature must be at the centre of the Government's plans.

Yet again the salmon industry just destroys
The Tasmanian government closed two zones within the state's rock lobster fishery just hours after the commercial season opened. The closure is in response to concerns about an antibiotic being used by salmon companies and the rock lobster industry's reputation in overseas markets.
