NYC pension funds could set a global precedent by ditching BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, on climate grounds. Meanwhile in Australia, our largest super fund #AustralianSuper has thrown its support behind the fossil fuel expansion plans of climate wreckers like Woodside & Whitehaven 😡

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.
