The MRFF was designed to support research and our future. That’s all. Full stop.
ALL the proceeds from the fund should be used to guarantee we have a vibrant health and medical research system.
The Government has an opportunity to secure a prosperous future - best part, it’s already paid for!
Half the funding. Half the future.
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) was meant to deliver $1B a year — only $650M is reaching researchers.
Join the call to release the full MRFF.

The last time it rained that much in winter, Perth's drinking water dam overflowed. Now it's barely half full. It's telling the story of a water crisis that's not only affecting Australia, but the globe.
Perth had its wettest winter in 30 years. Why aren’t its dams full?

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

The Australian efforts towards tackling the public health issue that is smoking were super successful. Something the country should be proud of. Look at the huge number of ex smokers Australian policies created. Good stuff.
