Budgets are about priorities. The idea is to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of
In Australia we spend $14 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies & we are cutting science jobs at CSIRO…

If the Government's top priority is productivity, slashing the CSIRO budget does not make sense
Research and development is one of the major drivers of productivity and the CSIRO has a long track record of making productivity enhancing breakthroughs.

I think award season is now over. Mean Streak just won the Walkley Book Award to cap it off and I’m so thankful. Buy or borrow, the story is more fucked up than you think.

Merkel clarified today that Russia — not Ukraine — started this war.
Her earlier wording targeted leaders who ignored Putin for years.
She admits appeasement helped create the disaster we see now.
And her message to Europe: backing Ukraine is the only way to stop it.

Australia is bringing in ‘world first’ minimum pay for food delivery drivers - here’s how it will work
Deal between companies and union, which includes an hourly wage and accident insurance, still requires approval from the industrial umpire, but this is what we know so far
Food delivery companies in Australia have teamed up with the Transport Workers’ Union to set new minimum standards for delivery drivers, including a minimum hourly wage and accident insurance for injuries sustained on the job.

It’s been over 2 years since the late Peta Murphy’s inquiry into online gambling advertising & how it affects problem gamblers. Since then, Australians have lost $60 billion to gambling.
Australians need a government with the will and the courage to protect them from gambling harms.

Trump does not care about Ukrainian sovereignty or democracy. Trump does not frame this war as one between good vs evil, democrats vs autocrats, or the colonized vs the imperialists. He just wants the war to end so he can take credit. The details don't matter to him at all.

The Department freely admits in these docs that compliance punishments hurt welfare recipients' chances of finding work - then chose to enact harsher punishments against them.
