Enjoy.
Thanks for posting the link. It was concerning that to be part of the ELT consortium that the dopes in Canberra (don't get me started) seem to think Australian Science can't walk and chew gum, hence are moving to defund the AAO. Once again we will lose invaluable infrastructure for training the next generation of Physicists and Astronomers. Funny how they can always find the money for a new sporting stadium, school hall or free roof insulation.
