From Guardian Politics: Tony Abbott: "We keep tiptoeing around this subject and the problem is that nearly all of the terrorist incidents are associated with people yelling out ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they kill. I’m not saying for a second that all Muslims can be lumped into the same basket — of course not, of course not — the overwhelming majority of Muslims right around the world, particularly here in Australia are decent people, but but there is this strain of ‘death to the infidel’ in Islam and that’s why it’s vital that we work with live and let live Muslims to try to ensure that this ‘death to the infidel’ strain is gradually massaged away.” geez tones, I wonder why people who yell Allahu akbar get classified as terrorists and why people who don't don't.

quote:http://www.smh.com.au/business/innovation/our-universities-arent-earning-the-money-we-give-them-20170527-gwem64.html I have a lot of sympathy for this criticism of universities, but it seems like reducing funding is going to push them even further in this direction. I wish they'd just get rid of university rankings altogether. It's obvious which unis are good and which aren't, and the difference between being 500th and 600th in the world is utterly irrelevant. open24hours fucked around with this message at 03:39 on May 29, 2017 |

Actually the irony is that NHMRC grants are also largely based on the amount you publish in journals of a certain calibre, so I'd also be arguing that the current scientific funding model in Australia is actually contributing to what you are seeing here. These "prestigious foreign journals" is a hectic dogwhistle because the NHMRC ~requires~ that research be published in certain journals which may be based overseas. The NHMRC funds ~10% of the applications they get, so its actually extremely important to make sure that the investigator track record is up to scratch because its a crucial part of the grant application. I saw an email that stated that they are/have streamlined how the NHMRC apps are handled, but I haven't seen the new system yet so I'm not so sure.

open24hours posted:Apart from the time they spend thinking of ways to turn the same bit of research into more than one paper, our sandstone academics seem to spend more time applying for research grants than doing research. Academics spend too much time trying to find funding for their research, therefore we should cut their funding.

I've never met a single researcher who spent more than the absolute minimum amount of time and effort getting funding they need to complete their study. I mean, sometimes that's a lot, but it really sounds like the author has never spoke to an academic,

Helps with attracting international students which is the main point I think. It's a service export really, so as you suggest it will no doubt push an ever higher focus on rankings. A lot of very good European universities never rank highly because they are adequately publicly funded and don't give a drat.

I remember getting turfed out of a clubs in the Cross back in the day People need to start suing the police when they try this poo poo. There is only one occasion when publicly forcing someone to strip is legal - when they are an immediate threat to others and you have very good reason to believe they have weapons secreted about their person. If police think someone has drugs they can compel them to go to the nearest police station with them under certain circumstances. But that's it. No one is ever obliged to make a cop's day easier by publicly humiliating themselves by stripping for a power hungry little Hitler.
