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?

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.

How did Australian universities go from free education to $50,000 arts degrees in 50 years? Australians think students are being asked to pay far too much for their degrees. Just under half (47%) of Australiansย surveyed by YouGov in June 2025 believe a worker on an average income should be a...

Australia should provide free tertiary education to all young Australians

If it was possible 50 years ago - and many thousands of people like me benefited from Whitlam's remarkable policy - it is possible and necessary now

One of the most damaging and enduring aspects of the Dismissal, fifty years ago today, was its poisoning of the electorate against the Whitlam government, ensuring that it would lose the subsequent election and creating fear of progressive government.

Minns knows this is untrue. NSW Police do not need more powers, they need to stop providing police protection to Nazis. Same applies to Victoria Police.

How in the mind-bending fuck do we live in a world where conservatives call 14-year-olds โ€œwomenโ€ when talking about their rapes but also call 40 year olds โ€œgirlsโ€ when talking about their achievements or successes?

Is there any oversight ... at all ... where the ubiquitous sushi stalls in every shopping centre, mall, airport, etc. that offer only salmon, source their produce??
It is from diseased Tasmanian salmon farms?
Time to get this industry and its outlets under proper scutiny!

Today is a historic day in Victoria. The first state in Australia, to sign & formalise into law, a treaty with First Nations people. Healing past injustices through major reforms is a big bloody deal for our country!

'The bastards have sacked us!' What it was like to be there for The Dismissal After Gough Whitlam was sacked, a crowd formed. They could have stormed the building. Fifty years on, this photo tells the story of The Dismissal.

50 years ago today.
Australia's most memorable political moment.
And I remember it.
I was at high school. Came home to the news and remember feeling surprised that the PM was sacked. I didn't realise that could happen.
It was all anyone could talk about for a while. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Just so we're all straight

His secret government documents alleged theft hearing was two days ago, today was his alleged Tas car theft hearing, his alleged two counts of rape charges in QLD hearing is early 2026 and his defamation appeal hearing is August next year

I mean, seriously . . .
