The jacarandas here in Wollongong have been spectacular this year. They started in mid October, a little earlier than usual & they are still going. Often they are planted alongside an Illawarra Flame. When their flowering happens to coincide, the red & purple looks incredible.

Piggy has signed off on the release of the Epstein files.
There is a loophole in the law that lets the DOJ withhold anything they deem is part of an active investigation.
It’s precisely what Piggy is counting on.

He was sacked before the election for being an openly homophobic bigot.

Beach walking at sunset is not very calming when the local beach has 100000s of dead and dying fish. The impact of the algae bloom in South Australia continues to be devastating for marine life 😿

Something is wrong when the government doesn’t sufficiently fund the CSIRO, yet continues to increase subsidies for fossil fuel producers.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s madness. 🤷🏼♀️ Albanese sure knows how to get voters offside.
I seriously cannot get over how stupid it is to be cutting back on research right now #ThePoint

CSIRO 350 job cuts a damning indictment on Government priorities, misses 'golden opportunity' on research
The announcement this week that CSIRO are to cut 350 research jobs is another damning indictment on Australia’s ongoing failure to prioritise research and development.

The local Jacaranda I see most days is starting to lose its blossoms, but not its rich, deep color. I will miss this brilliant splash of purple when it leaves the stage.

As @michaelmazengarb.bsky.social pointed out, when Abbott cut jobs at CSIRO it inspired protests on the street.
Now that @albomp.bsky.social is cutting it even more dramatically, why isn't the response just as impassioned?

Never will I ever vote Labor as my first preference in either house at the federal level again.

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

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?
