This hardly new: I was taught that every unsuccessful project ends with punishing the innocent and rewarding the guilty. Time honoured.

At least they are good at it!

The key was to allow Barnaby to work from the pub on his phone.

Trump’s attack on science risks dismantling a century of innovation Restrictive visa policies, rhetoric targeting academic institutions and proposed budget cuts to scientific agencies mark the start of US retreat.

The US remains a global leader in science. But leadership is not a trophy. It is a discipline. It is earned and re-earned every year. America faces a choice. #auspol #USpol

Can you get a Victoria Cross for defending Ben Roberts-Smith against all odds?

Their main problem is dealing with an over-abundance of talent in the LNP apparently.

Eliminating US science advisory committees will harm the public and open the door to special interests In recent weeks, the landscape of science advisory committees in the United States federal government has changed significantly as agencies eliminate committees to follow an executive order from Presi...

"Science should play an essential role in informing policies that protect public health, the environment & technological progress. Science cannot fulfill this role if science advisory committees are dismantled on the specious pretense of cutting bureaucracy..."—UCS's Melissa Finucane.

I'd like to see that with a cybertruck: it's got plastic with electrolytes!

I hope Dutton doesn't complete his descent into insanity by aspiring to a post-politics career as a male model.

Surprisingly, it turns out that the idiot Musk was the smartest in cabinet, recognised the shit show, and fled.

It is remarkable how powerful ruthless and merciless the woke are.

5 things we need to see in Australia’s new nature laws A group of prominent environmental scientists devised this list of 5 things we must see in Australia’s new national environmental laws, if we are to avoid calamity and hasten recovery.

Will Australia’s new government listen to the science?

“Our national environmental legislation has largely failed to protect biodiversity, including many threatened plants, animals and ecological communities.”

I think Ted O'Brien should get life membership of the ALP.

Who would have thought the "woke" would be so ruthless and merciless.

It would worry them when they have to bully themselves

Nuclear threat extinguished, but much work needed to protect nature and climate Australians have said no to nuclear. That door is not just closed, it is welded shut. But much work is needed to protect nature and climate.

It is sobering to think that, despite the losses of so many liberal seats, how little talent and integrity was lost to the LNP and that even less remains.

Any decent LNP project manager knows you can have things cheaper, better and faster - well, at least two out of three.

There’s no power quite like people power. ✊

Today is #MayDay, AKA International Workers’ Day.

Woodside AGM, Thu, May 8, 2025 9:00 AM

“Woodside is ripping off communities, fueling climate disasters, and driving species to extinction. The Burrup Hub gas project that they’re trying to get approved will threaten the beautiful Scott Reef, a feeding ground…”

The world knows that this is untrue. I’d sue.

Also the Murdochs are recognised the world over, and especially Rupert, as the most damaging to democracy.

Is it too late the change the opposition leader?

Could be a white flag.

It’s time to eliminate our dependance on the U.S. for high-cost nuclear tech & climate-damaging fossil gas!

Well, he probably has Mars locked in with his Musk connections.

The precious bodily fluids are under threat again.

Surely his miraculous recovery from a bullet to the ear grants him Messiah status rather than a mere Pope?

If even the most faithful fossil fuel, nuclear, and bioenergy advocates don't see the writing on the wall that their products are totally unnecessary and will eventually be relegated to the annals of history, they are deceiving themselves.

They can probably argue that a dick pic phallus on a ballot is a vote 1 LNP ballot.
