It’s not the Industrial Revolution. It’s colonialism, resource plunder from the vulnerable, and enforced free labour (whatever you want to call that) for the benefit of a declared overclass. Empire by another name, not charming top hats and poop-poop steam engines.

Calling Labor's current approach "incrementalism" or "small target" or whatever makes it sound like they are are an overly cautious progressive govt. Matters like this show that they are actively pursuing policies that make them indistinguishable from the centre right: not incrementalists at all.
Disgraceful & tragic what governments have done to this once science powerhouse! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
"Federal Science Minister...Tim Ayres said the cuts were aimed at refocusing the efforts of the CSIRO towards research priorities, such as critical minerals, iron & steel...in Australia."

While it may seem redundant to say “pump it up” after encouraging the listener to “pump up the jam,” the author is underscoring the urgency of pumping up said jam; leaving us to ponder the bleakness of living in a world devoid of it.
