This is why for a long time I've found the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science a rather insulting propaganda exercise www.abc.net.au/news/science... CSIRO funding as a percentage of GDP: 1982-83 = 0.17 2024-25 = 0.03 ... Scientific extinction event imminent?

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?

"Australia’s news outlets don’t interrogate AUKUS, instead merely asking, 'Is AUKUS on track or in jeopardy?'” One of the reasons Australians appear to support #AUKUS: Mainstream media is hopeless at presenting the real costs and threats. Which suits this secretive government just fine. #auspol

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.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

And western nations turn a blind eye because “ceasefire” and “peace deal”.

I spent two years in conversation with the Yarra Trams disability officer and the ombudsman’s office, trying to make trams more accessible for blind and low vision people. I achieved close to nothing. I was fobbed off with promises and pleasing words. They don’t give a shit. #VicPol #AusPol

@australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social Albanese is defunding our CSIRO but he can send billions off to a rapist in the US give 8000 homes to the US and let Australia became a US nuclear waste dump He can send trillions of our superannuation to the US while Australians are in poverty.

BREAKING: Israeli naval forces just abducted three Palestinian fishermen while they were fishing just meters off the coast of Gaza City, according to Gaza’s Fishermen Committees.

Every single month, Australia must pay another $1 Billion to the US for the AUKUS nuclear submarines. How can we afford it? Albo's answer: He'll make the public hospitals reduce their services. #auspol

"theft tech" is a term my pal @astra.bsky.social thought of just today when we were working on our book about these End Times Fascists. We were thinking about what should happen when this this bubble busts, as we all know it will. Remember: they have bunkers. We don't. 2/3

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Forcibly displaced Palestinians are struggling after heavy rains and sewage flooded makeshift tents in Gaza. The #UN says Palestinians still lack adequate food, medicine and other critical supplies including warm shelters, as winter approaches. #RiseUp #freepalestine #palestine #Israel #bds

Israel has killed over 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct 2023 So this justifies killing hundreds of thousands of Israelis, bombing Israeli hospitals & schools, destroying synagogues, murdering Israeli journalists & healthcare workers. Isnt that how it works?

Every state apart from Tas is pulling their weight with hospital expenditure. The Feds not wanting to pay for the additional demand on hospitals that the FEDS CREATE from underfunding their primary health, NDIS and aged care system responsibilities is pathetic bullshit www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Thank you for writing this, @timhollo.bsky.social. I've been very critical of COPs for a long time, and you've articulated the fundamental issues with precision. "A globe of sovereign states is no true globe...a globe of communities acting in concert for the climate can make the COPs obsolete."

Fascists are alive and producing school curricula. Take us back to the 1950s please.

Since Trump’s ‘ceasefire’, Israel killed 900 Palestinians in Gaza. In the West Bank, 691 Palestinians were kidnapped during 1,503 invasions. If the victims had been Israelis, the Western media would have been (rightly) protesting these pogroms. Now? A guilty silence prevails...

In news no one could have anticipated the US gives more Palestinian land to Israel

Gaza saw its first major rainfall of the season today. Within minutes, people were submerged and tents holding families and children flooded. This is slow death. There is no justification for why proper shelter that can withstand the elements is not being allowed in.
