If you’re buying your fourth investment property, you’re a true-blue Aussie. But a student receiving rent assistance? You’re a fiscal burden.

For all the understandable criticism of COPs & the need for more ambitious emissions reductions, the fact projected global warming has gone from towards 4°C or more to about 2.3–2.5°C now really should be mentioned more often to highlight that global progress is being made & can be built upon
“Widespread international support for the Australia-Pacific bid to host next year’s climate negotiations did not translate into a clear win,” writes Ryan Neelam in The Interpreter.

"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.
