So glad that there is an uptick in the arrests of Neo-Nazis. One was arrested this afternoon in Bondi and sending a threatening message to MP Allegra Spender. We need to smash this network and treat their gatherings at a minimum like the harsh bikie laws that prevented them from being in groups.

‘Pry open the jaws of Treasury’ to fund CSIRO amid hundreds of job losses, Labor MP Ed Husic tells own party
Husic, who oversaw CSIRO cuts as the former science minister, said some in government see scientific agency funding as a ‘cost’ not an ‘investment’
Ed Husic has challenged his own government to “pry open the jaws of Treasury” to boost funding for Australia’s national scientific agency after it announced up to 350 research jobs would be cut to deal with an imminent budgetary cliff.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) announced on Wednesday it would look to cut between 300 and 350 research unit roles as part of efforts to narrow its research scope and address an ageing property portfolio in need of urgent modernisation. Continue reading...

The ban is bad policy and it's clear not enough has been done to prepare young people and their families about what is about to happen. Where are the education packages and support that were promised? Just telling kids to log off and go touch grass is not going to cut it!

"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
