As the Trump Administration slides further and further into authoritarianism, it becomes increasingly clear Australia needs to escape the disastrous AUKUS deal. Two-thirds of Australians support a Parliamentary Inquiry into AUKUS. Add your name to the call. ✍️⤵️ #auspol

My new report is out - Adani sold coal at mates rates to India, avoiding $400m in royalty payments to Queensland ...and Qld's LNP gov doesn't seem to care. Thread below on how they did it. Write up in @australia.theguardian.com @australiainstitute.org.au www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Adani denies claims it sold ‘below-market coal’ leading to Queensland missing out on hundreds of millions in royalties

Adani has strongly rejected the Australia Institute’s findings, including that customers paid an average of $102 a tonne in 2022-23

University policy has been broken for 40 years. ‘Our policymakers must be brave enough to argue that education is unequivocally and intrinsically a public good, vital to the interests of the nation, and therefore worth funding properly.’ www.afr.com/policy/healt...

afr.com

Universities aren’t pizza joints; stop treating them that way

Policymakers must set aside the fiction that universities are just another industry that can generate its own funding and that academics can be turned into entrepreneurs.

Yikes. Yikes. There’s a Kierkegaard quote about a clown announcing the end of the world and the audience applauds and thinks it’s a joke.

A headline from popular mechanic magazine thar reads: yikes we just crossed a planetary boundary 66 million years in the making.

Prochlorococcus, a marine bacterium that is only 0.5–0.7 micrometers wide, produces more oxygen than all tropical rainforests combined. Every tiny organism plays a key role in our planet's health. On #WorldOceanDay, see how UNEP works to #SaveOurOcean: bit.ly/3Qk34aI

A microscopic image showing several green, circular to oval-shaped cells of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. The cells have a layered appearance and are viewed under an electron microscope. Clusters of smaller dark dots, likely bacteria or cellular fragments, appear near the larger cells.
