Save the CSIRO

Our national science & research agency is now facing more job cuts than under Tony Abbott

Call on the Albanese Govt to fund the scientists & research we need to tackle big issues we face from climate to food security and everything in between

Funny is it not, that socialised medicine in Australia is 2% levy on our taxable income, collected as we pay tax. Those on low income or who are older may not even pay that at all! When will the US learn that health services purchased by the Gov from taxes/levies is a better way?????

An Australian Human Rights Act would make our lives better by putting human rights at the heart of laws and government decisions.

Legislating Human Rights Acts from Whitlam to Now Report shows why the Albanese Government should make an Act a reality.

New government data confirms what everyone already knew...multinational gas exporters are reaping billions from Australian resources while paying little or no tax.

Hi Tony, being in OZ they also call what I call turnips, swedes over here! Very frustrating when my Aussie husb tries to make me call them Swedes!! LOL!!! Noting beats an Irish turnip, candle glowing with menace & the expectation of something coming to get you as your parents tell you stories!!

My father used to do this for us when we were kids in Ireland! Scary!!!! Turnips were massive then, now in OZ they are no bigger than a fist, and a small one at that!! Would not scare anyone!!!!

โ€˜The philosopher Judith Butler and the Middle East historian Ussama Makdisi are perhaps the only two notified people who have spoken publicly about the email they received. Butler sees the silence of the others as a sign of fear.โ€™

I am an ASusie & prob had more than most as our Gov thinks keeping up out of the โ€œhealth systemโ€ is cheaper than putting us into intensive care! BTW most of them are free!!

No, the laptop is good for basic but the newer models with better chips that are quicker and do more things! The current 13 inch Macbook air is super fast & would last another 7yrs! U cld even get a cheap extra monitor & run it to have more window space to view ie writing on 1 & research on other.

This mesmerizing video shows global ocean currents in motion using NASAโ€™s ECCO model, which integrates decades of satellite, buoy, and sensor data. The Van Gogh-style swirls reveal complex currents that drive climate, ecosystems, and weather worldwide.

One of the minor ones, expensive butโ€ฆ He changed the livery of all gov depts to Aussie coat of arms so that everyone knew that this was the Aussie gov looking at you & you knew where it came from! No longer the blue for ATO & red for CES etc. Change face of Gov & loss of CES & its programs!!

It always amazes me how people think that you should just get over whatever โ€œtraumaโ€ is imposed on people by those that want whatever they have!! IE the Irish, it is only 500 years and we are still not โ€œover itโ€! It still affects how we interact with โ€œothersโ€ today!!!
