I'm not convinced that increasing dingo numbers wouldn't at least help control the population. Basically all predator-prey systems go though cycles afaik (we teach this model to first year maths students). Obviously I'd have to read more to form a stronger opinion though.

In fact, for those of us who eat meat, we should avoid beef, lamb, and pork. Kangaroo is FAR more sustainable from an environmental perspective...
... even if Skippy is on our National Coat of Arms.

This I agree with, I live overseas now and I miss a good roo-steak.

Governments have backed controls and culls of the kangaroo’s natural predator – the dingo

“The natural alternatives are being killed by a dingo or dying by starvation,” he says.

Farmers livestock might be at risk but can we not reintroduce more dingos to manage the population?

This corrosive billionaire puts a lot of money into Australian politics, I think it's important to know what you're enemy is thinking.

I was honestly hoping that people would see trump, see Dutton trying to emulate him, then go "ahh no maybe not."

"deliberate" seems like a pretty high bar. Of course it doesn't stop employer groups crying that literally stealing is being made illegal.

Senator Birmingham criticised the Greens, saying their failure to vote for the motion cut against cross-party efforts to improve parliamentary culture.

Yeah don't suspend Pauline for being a racist though dw about it.

Honestly, reducing the teaching + publish-or-perish + the constant need to apply for grants would go a long way towards fixing the review process. Academics have to spend a lot of time doing a lot of non-academic work that peer reviewing properly sometimes gets pushed down the list of priorities.

You're assuming that they scouted this and carefully planned it to ensure they wouldn't cause damage. I doubt that.

Seems like they did:

The canvas of the painting is protected with a glass screen, a factor Just Stop Oil said they had taken into account.

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs

To publish open access normally costs upwards of $3k USD as well. There's practically no point in the publishing chain where academics aren't getting screwed.

Let's also not forget that you have to review other people's papers for the journal for free.

There's a lot of "it's probably concealed for a reason" type posts that I don't think I'd be seeing if this was the LNP.

Also how can Australians trust the government to make national security laws if they aren't informed on national security issues?

NSW police are famous for their well measured and reasonable use of power so you're probably right.

But what about the economy‽

Also to be fair, Australia's unemployment system is especially cruel with mutual obligations etc... It's basically designed to kill people.
