What an absolute … you insert the epithet.
Trump: "I've announced a permanent pause on third-world migration…I didn't say 'shit hole,' you did…We had a meeting and I said, 'Why is it we only take people from shit hole countries. Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, just a few.…But we always take people from Somalia."

Trump: We are going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. Farmers like me based on voting trends. So we are going to use that money to provide $12 billion in economic assistance to American farmers. $12 billion is a lot of money

So what do we do about this? CSIRO is the greatest government science organisation in the world and costs peanuts to fund. Meanwhile we throw BILLIONS in AUKUS bribe money at Trump.
The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol
That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.
