Well, after 10 years of a degrading science budget under the Howard government our new lords and masters, having claimed that such would be at the forefront of their thinking, have continued the trend and as a result CSIRO are culling another four research stations and associated staff. There again, when we have so much money coming in from mining what interest could there be in maintaining our agricultural sector?

Still, it could be worse, I'll probably just have to swap my dark skies for the light pollution of Adelaide. Plenty of my colleagues won't be so lucky.
