Its a very sad day indeed that any scientific research is curtailed. Qld has nothing but a planetarium so we are the poor cousins of Australian Astronomy, and from what I have heard, Brisbane City Council would rather see the back of that!
Politically I can sort of understand why State Govt would not be interested in the science part (shame on them for not supporting outreach). I doubt though that our Federal members could give, er, whatever either and that is the tragedy, but it is they that I would be door knocking...
