Gutted to see our national science organisation keep losing talented scientists & expertise built up over decades.
A further 86 FTE positions cut in the lead up to Christmas, is devastating for those impacted, our community + sovereign capability.
Short-term thinking at its worst. We need to โฌ๏ธ our scientific capacity & R&D spend to confront the challenges facing us.

I still don't get what happened to the Australian war graves in Gaza and why.
And what is being done about it?

Our comments as Israeli election results roll in: no matter who forms government, Australia must increase pressure on Israel to end the genocide and apartheid it is inflicting on Palestinians.

One thing that that might save Israel is offering Netanyahu and others as a scapegoat to the Hague.
Indeed, it might be an opportunity for a good, satisfying purge.

Israel may be unsalvageable. But if it is salvageable, it is now or never.
Watching the Israeli election results closely. Quite a lot of voices calling for the anti-Netanyahu bloc to get over itself and make common cause with the Arab parties. My own is view is that they have a choice: Figure how to make a coalition with the Arab parties work or run the risk of seeing Israel totally ruined - in which regard see what Netanyahu himself has predicted the future to be - and maybe even eventually disappear in time given the Haredi who neither work nor fight and the slow but certain ongoing emigration of many of the most capable people. Maybe I am overreading it, but it seems to me that its likely now or never.

What a line:
"Most Israeli Jews now see the world the way Netanyahu has long seen it. That is Netanyahuโs great victory. But it is matched by his great loss: Much of the world now sees Israel the way Gazans see it." nytimes.com/2026/10/25/opiniโฆ
