If you want scientists to be able to do science, they need support from admin staff doing admin.

About 65% felt the job cuts would impact CSIRO’s ability to put out good research and support Australian industries.

“Less support staff means more work for an already stretched research workforce,” one anonymised respondent wrote.

Tingle wasn't talking about that in her original remarks. The bit about The Australian's considerable coverage on supposed anti-semitism was just meant to illustrate the Murdoch papers' rank hypocrisy in their beat-up around her remarks.

Students are calling on community members to help defend the encampment from police at 10:30am tomorrow (Tues 28th May): https://www.instagram.com/p/C7di8UwBpyb/

UPDATE

In case anyone was wondering, students voted to move the location of the encampment so that ANU management can't use the emergency assembly point thing as an excuse to break up the encampment anymore. Post about it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7fgCS8Ph-o/

'From the river to the sea': Labor senator breaks ranks to accuse Israel of genocide ( www.sbs.com.au )

She directly addressed Albanese: "I ask our prime minister and our fellow parliamentarians, how many international rights laws must Israel break for us to say enough? What is the magic number? How many mass graves need to be uncovered before we say enough? How many images of bloody limbs of murdered children must we see?"...

The text of the article never actually mentions the ethnicity of the kids (interesting choice, ABC 🤔) that this shithead thought he could treat like animals but there is a photo and you will not be surprised.

There's specific exemptions in these laws for clubs. I'm not a lawyer, but from what I've read, I think if they were to do the paperwork to set up the room as a women-only club somehow, they'd be in the clear.

Details of defence deal with Israel kept under wraps to protect Australia's 'reputation' ( www.abc.net.au )

In short: Australia's Defence department has refused to publicly release a copy of the deal struck with Israel on defence industry cooperation because it "could harm Australia's international standing and reputation"....

Well, that sucks.

Transacta-7Y1 made a fist, a symbol they’d agreed on at the beginning of their companionship. They both tensed, making ready to move. Surprise was on their side. Nothing else was, but they took what they could get. But Envaric had one more thing to say.

‘Tee. Tell me something before we die, yeah?’

She turned to regard him, gazing at his deteriorating form through her monovisor. She said nothing, but he had her attention. The look in his eyes was what she suspected to be amusement. This was it, then. One last joke.

‘Are you pretty under all that?’

It took her a moment to process this. She’d never been asked such a thing. Beneath her armour, she was an irradiated foot soldier of the Machine-God. Her skin, deep brown at birth and not unlike Envaric’s in that regard, was a starved and sunless grey. She’d been ritually delimbed, her extremities replaced with arms and legs of inexpensive cybernetic purity. Much to her honour, she had attained such a state of grace within her mechamorphosis that more of her body was now comprised of holy iron than what remained of her flawed birthflesh. Under her helmet, she was pockmarked with cryo-controlled radiation tumours. She possessed no eyelids, no hair, no teeth, and no nose – and what hadn’t been surgically removed had rotted off over the course of her years of sacred service.

In short, she was skitarii.

Transacta-7Y1 keyed in a symbol and tossed him the dataslug again. He caught it with weakening fingers and read the symbol there.

[affirmative]

He gave a bloodstained smile. ‘Yeah, I thought so.’

Though neither of them knew it for certain, they were the last of their combined platoons. When they attacked a few moments later, killing two of the Emperor’s Children from ambush, it was the final act of resistance in the defence of the Principa Collegiate.

Your 4G phone could be impacted by 3G shutdowns this year. Here's what to know ( www.abc.net.au )

All three major telcos have been warning customers to make sure they upgrade from 3G-only devices, but also to check if their 4G and 5G devices have something called Voice over LTE (VoLTE), so that they don't get caught out when 3G networks shut down....
