β€˜Worst thing I’ve ever seen’: CSIRO slashes climate modelling jobs Australia’s science agency is cutting more than 100 jobs in its Environment Research Unit, which critics say will crush our capacity to predict climate change.

CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government.

We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists.

Three orthographic maps showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in February 2026, December 2025 to February 2026, and March 2025 to February 2026 in the Southern Hemisphere while looking downward at the South Pole. Blue shading is shown for colder anomalies, and red shading is shown for warmer anomalies. The mean surface temperature anomaly for each region and period is also shown in the upper left of each map. Anomalies are computed relative to 1981-2010.

Watch: 'The world should see this', say Papua deforestation doco filmmakers Filmmakers behind a new doco on deforestation devastation in Papua say the world should take note.

Watch this film.

West Papua is being cleared right now.

Rainforest flattened.
Soldiers deployed.
2.5 million hectares turned into sugar and palm oil plantations.

Indonesia calls it development.

The world calls it business.

History will call it ecocide.

It's all a bit hard to sanitise when you take your orders from war criminals.

Netanyahu, MBS, Putin and the Useful Idiot PART THREE OF THREE This is the concluding part of a series that began as two pieces and became three, for the same reason this war began as a targeted operation and is becoming something [...]

β€œThe last time a US president launched a war of choice against a Middle Eastern nation on shifting justifications, with no plan for what comes after, it took 20 years, $1.9 trillion, and 4,431 American lives to get back to where they started.” But that’s lost on Trump.

It will be historically significant that the Albanese government decided to spend its enormous political capital not on addressing systemic inequality but on mindless fealty to the demands of the United States and Israel. That is how it'll be remembered.

"The Iranian regime is even more dug in to Iranian society than Hamas. That raises the question of just what Australia, or any of the other countries being dragged into the war β€” through being attacked, or through offering to provide defence support β€” are getting themselves into."

33% of their total output.

6% of global supply.
