Why are we looking for signs of coherent strategy in the ALP? Post Julia Gillard there have been sod all signs of any/one. It will take the worst government in the history of this nation since the invasion for the ALP to return to minority government. It has been repeatedly noted that this thread delivers better quality strategy advice for the ALP than the entire ALP apparatus. That makes party hacks, like the eternally butt hurt EvilEmo, all the more pathetic for ragging on the people who actually have a clue what's going wrong. I'm not talking about the advocating of the wholesale adoption of Greens policies by the ALP, this is the simple day to day poo poo that the ALP appear to remain utterly clueless about. Failed YL? That's a complete tautology. What's the standard for a pass btw? Oh sorry I forgot incoherence is the new Red in the ALP.

http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/hiv-acrobat-godfrey-zaburoni-wins-appeal-20160406-gnzgk3.html This is a poor decision in regards to citing mens rea as the overruling theorem to harm caused. Sexual disease is an area where laws need to catch up before the epidemic continues (STI rates rising dramatically and safe sex rates dropping).

hooman posted:http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/apr/06/csiro-climate-cuts-about-cutting-public-good-research-documents-show 21 November, before a meeting at which that investigation was discussed, the deputy director of the oceans and atmosphere business unit, Andreas Schiller, sent an email summarising what CSIRO executives thought ought to be done. The focus should be to “maximise impact on nation”, he said, and “not doing science for science sake”. He said “public good is not good enough, [it] needs to be linked to jobs and growth”. ... In March Alex Wonhas, the executive director of environment, energy and resources, told the Senate inquiry public good research was not being cut: “I want to categorically say that is not the case ... Public good research has been the absolute foundation of what the CSIRO has been doing over our very long history.” But on 18 January, about two weeks before the cuts were announced, Schiller wrote to the director of the unit saying they should aim to cut 120 staff. That would “allow a clean cut in terms of eliminating all capability associated with ‘public good/government-funded climate research’”.

Our new strategy will see us continue to deliver research outcomes that benefit Australians and the international community. This includes in our key focus areas such as cybersecurity and digital disruption, business transformation, agriculture, health, and climate adaptation and mitigation.

these morons don't realise that the CSIRO's greatest commercialisable successes have come from public good research that wasn't focussed on short term commercial "impact".

Also that research that has obvious commercial returns will likely be done by private companies anyway

They get pigeon holed for merely presenting facts as "lefties/environmentalists" etc. Such a shame to see such amazing people treated like excess baggage. One scientist I worked with said she'd come back with all this data about ocean acidification and then just get jumped on as a communist. They don't even offer solutions, they just present the facts. I wish all the best for those boffins.
