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.

Beat me to it.

I work with a lot of CSIRO people and you can taste the frustration. 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.

Who was doing the pigeon holing and communist jumping? People inside the csiro or members of the public or what?

Labor arent being a small target on the economy though. For an opposition party they are being a very big target. They made that clear by going after negative gearing. Bowen is setting the economic agenda right now and morrison is reacting. For all the coalition bluster about morrison being the next big thing hes struggling to see off a man with a funny beard.

Labor were awful in the first year or so of opposition and they still have many policies i find personally distasteful but they are performing extremely well over the last year. Especially at framing the debate. They have seen off one prime minister in record speed and have pulled an extremely popular moderate to 50/50 polling with bill shorten.

"I had a commitment for a $10 million allocation to the Wangaratta hospital that, if elected, I was going to announce the week after the election. That is $10 million that Wangaratta hasn't had because Cathy [McGowan] got elected," Ms Mirabella said.

"So the question is: who can best deliver that funding in a Turnbull Coalition government? It's about who has the ability and the knowledge and the contacts in government to go to the top of the list. Cathy wasn't able to do it - I will be."

The prime minister says increasing supply of land and changing residential zoning is a better solution to housing affordability

In a further indication of the Coalition’s election policies Michaelia Cash, the employment minister, told Sky News the government would back a policy of “incremental” industrial relations changes.

Driving down the value of the most important asset for most Australians is not a strategy for economic growth and enhanced prosperity.”

Turnbull and Morrison nominated increasing the supply of land and changing zoning for residential construction as the solution to housing affordability.

Cash said homeowners would be harmed “if you take $1 off [the value of] their house, the asset they have worked hard for, that’s going to see them to retirement”.

The army has an unbelievably toxic culture so it's not surprising that people who survive (or worse thrive in) it tend to have some pretty heinous attitudes. It's taken me a long time to help my housemate understand the difference between what was drilled into them in the army and the way the real world works. I remember they used to have a go at me when I didn't go to work because I had a cold because I was being "weak" and a "malingerer" and I was like, "What the poo poo, work would send me home when I'm like this because they don't want me sicking up the place and getting everyone else unwell!".

It's like all the bullying and exclusion and abuse and power games of children translated into the adult world, they grab these kids at 17 and make sure they never ever grow up. At least that's my limited experience of people who have served (as infantry) and gotten out.

Malingerer? Seriously?

Going back to ANZAZ stuff for a moment, when and why the gently caress do people keep saying the soldiers died protecting our freedums?

Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court rules detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island is illegal

Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court has ruled Australia's detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island is illegal.

The five-man bench of the court ruled the detention breached the right to personal liberty in the PNG constitution.

There are 850 men in the detention centre on Manus Island, about half of whom have been found to be refugees.

The Supreme Court has ordered the PNG and Australian Governments to immediately take steps to end the detention of asylum seekers in PNG.

This study quite categorically differentiates between female ejaculate (a small amount of fluid which contains PSA from the Skene's gland) and 'squirt' (up to a cup of fluid from the bladder). This study says NOTHING about female ejaculate or its composition, so no, this is not proof that 'female ejaculation is just pee'. :shrug:

My favourite adams thing was his long range sex hypnosis

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/136330131311/hypnotizing-you-to-have-the-best-new-years-day

quote:


Warning: This post involves real hypnosis on the reader, and it is intended for adults only. Do NOT read further unless you have already read parts 1-3. 


...

You know I already told the bedroom-submissives reading this blog to obey my orders tonight and find a way to thank me. This group is quivering in anticipation and has my permission to enjoy the evening. You are my favorites. Be good.

For those of you who felt anti-aroused reading this blog series, I recognized your brain wiring as the no-by-reflex personality type, and in Part 2 I hypnotized you to NOT enjoy your New Year’s celebration, or the following day, with deeply satisfying orgasms. If you enjoy yourself sexually during this holiday, it means I am controlling you with my hypnosis, and this group doesn’t want that. So keep your sex drive to yourself. If you can.

...

Most of you have begun to feel the change. My email (Dilbertcartoonist@gmail.com) is starting to fill with stories from readers who have had spontaneous orgasms since Part 1 – because they feel my intention – as you do now. For perspective, about 20% of the public would normally respond to my suggestions immediately. The rest of you require repetition. And you are getting it.


...

Regular readers know that I used my background in hypnosis to accurately predict nine-out-nine political events in 2015, while most political professionals got zero right. That makes me the best political pundit of the year.

Actually, that probably makes me the best political predictor in the history of Earth. Nine out of nine – and none of the predictions were obvious or based on trajectory.

...


You might also know some of my back story, and wonder how someone can become a cartoonist with no experience, no training, and no artistic talent. The answer is that I did it the same way I predicted nine-out-of-nine political events in 2015. Persuasion is a learned skill.

...


This week I helped you focus on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day. Some of you took that opportunity to plan ahead so you could improve your odds of an amazing and orgasmic send-off to 2015.

Some of you directed a spouse or lover to this blog series to make sure you are on the same page tonight and tomorrow. That also improved your odds, but you don’t yet realize how much. 

This week, most of you had multiple thoughts about the suggestions I put in your minds. Perhaps something in the environment triggered those thoughts, as I said would happen. Or maybe the thoughts seemed to come from nowhere. Your thoughts triggered small but automatic releases of happy-sex chemistry in your body, by reflex. Everyone is different, so you might not notice the difference yet.

Science tells us...



I cut a lot out and thats not even half the post. Theres a lot of comedy in scot adams :chloe:
