Many extraordinary, life changing inventions have come from 🇦🇺
From the bionic ear to wifi.
But they won't keep happening if we don't fund research.
Federal research investment has ⬇️ to record lows.
This budget is an opportunity to change that.

Did you take a dip over the Easter break and notice anything unusual? 🏊♂️
Sea surface temperatures for this year have been warmer than usual.
Our researcher Chris Chapman explains why.

The Welcome to Country and opening addresses really have set the scene for discussing #STEM and decision making/policy in the coming days. Great work all #SMP2022 @ScienceAU

🙌 IT’S ON! Today is the day that #SciencemeetsParliament 2022 gets underway. A huge welcome to a record-breaking 528 delegates to Australia’s premier event connecting #science and #technology to decision-makers. We’re underway at 11am AEDT. #SmP2022

They should have been made in Australia, starting two years ago. They should have been made by CSIRO. They should have been free and available to all Australians. Another momentous failure by the Morrison Government. abc.net.au/news/2022-01-14/a…

Meet Munida julumunyju 🦞 - one of seven new species of squat lobsters discovered by #MuseumsVictoria Research Associate, Dr Anna McCallum and her team.
Several of the species were named in consultation with Aboriginal communities.

Today a Senate report laid bare the Morrison Govt’s lie on labour hire & outsourcing in the APS.
It delivers poorer outcomes for the community, costs Govt more and turns secure jobs into insecure ones.
Time for the Morrison Govt to step up and act 👇 cpsu.org.au/CPSU/Content/Med…
CSIRO Staff retweeted
Labor hire is a disaster for the public service:
- it costs more than APS employment, so agencies can hire fewer workers for their salary budget
- workers are worse off
- high staff turnover as workers seek job security elsewhere, &
- erodes PS expertise & experience.

The plan comes as Labor Leader Anthony Albanese said the entitlements of casual workers will be a key focus for next year's election campaign.

Another example of the #PrivatisationByStealth of the public service. Ministers don’t want frank and fearless advice from the APS, they want a gun for hire to tell them what they want to hear…this is bad for policy & corrosive of our democracy.

The federal government bypassed its own science agency in awarding US consulting giant McKinsey $6 million in contracts to provide key modelling for its net-zero plan. My story for @Innov_Aus: innovationaus.com/govt-bypas…
CSIRO Staff retweeted
Who would you trust to undertake net-zero modelling CSIRO or McKinsey...
If you're the Morrison Govt the answer is always the consultant

Our public sector science agencies play a critical role measuring the impacts of and responding to the changing climate
Not only has the Morrison Govt been slow to act on climate change, they've also cut jobs and funding from the public science agencies that aid our response
Australians can expect an average, or slightly above average, cyclone season with an increased risk of widespread flooding over the east and north.
