Also worth remembering that Rebecca White, previous leader of the Labor was not given the opportunity to try to form government with Greens and independents at last election. Labor refused to even consider it, so she was out of a job. Labor appears to be all or nothing.

Having observed a family member in their 90’s and a mentor in their 80s, I don’t think not reading is ā€œsenior-itistā€. šŸ“š

Thanks Isaias - very informative read. Petromasculinity is big in Australia too. We even give tax concessions to allow the purchase of the biggest fuel guzzler 4x4s

It’s rude but if one can show that running government negotiating with the Green & cross bench can be a successful enterprise in compromise then the argument that the Greens are unreasonable falls apart elsewhere . To be avoided at all costs. 😬🤣 Bugger wot voters have already expressed.

Yes - as @brontelee.bsky.social points out above- a So a propaganda element as well

Not exactly. More issues than being held to ransom by the AFL.

And I don’t mean support being a grant - relief from teaching, provision of support staff, main frame computing time, modellers’ time, access to social & political scientists and economists, domestic travel funds, child care.

People with exceptional collaborative & multidisciplinary skills, big vision & unconventional thinking do exist in science, generally on the periphery and are often women. Instead of waiting until the collapse, these people need to be supported now to allow them to rescue US science.

I suspect year of honing competition skills for everything: that grant, that lab space, that committee chair role, has meant that many upper echelons members of science lack collective vision or skills beyond managing a small team. Reductionist thinking doesn’t help either 1/

That op ed at the beginning of the year telling scientists to stay in their lane has worked a treat.

How absolutely tedious, obnoxious and tone deaf. Both issues, he as a speaker, yet no women speakers is dinosaur era stuff. I hope it’s does not reflect anti-dei osmosis from across the Pacific šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

Oh follow the money you mean? šŸ’° I think afl members should take back their sport, their stories and legends
comment in response to post
210k! so it’s rude that the AFL will not budge on the dictum no stadium / no team. Total corporate bs holding a state to ransom!
comment in response to post
Absolutely- over 200k have membership - I think the AFL didn’t want a Tassie team so came up with the highest unachievable hurdle they could imagine.
comment in response to post
Lotsa roaming there 🤣
comment in response to post
< 10k attend games now at either of current 2 stadiums, so not a big pull, planning laws are being abandoned, corporate power is expecting the state to pay at a level far greater than anywhere else in Aus, gov activity is being curtailed now & fire sale of assets is proposed to help to pay šŸ’°
