I think you will see in time Parks research will slowly diminish. If the CSIRO was to pull the plug instantly, there would be public outrage. Parks is an icon, no doubt about it. However she is becoming obsolete & in time she will serve only as a tourist & education destination.

Also I didn't complete the last quote due to the phone ringing. Complete now.
