Monday November 24

Junk policy

“There are no consequences healthwise in eating ultra-processed foods until the body says enough! Then we run for medical help. If eating ultra-processed foods was deemed dangerous like smoking, drugs and alcohol when consumed continuously, would this invoke a change in social policy to address our weakness in adopting these pleasurable additions?”

Otto Lechner

Protect CSIRO

“I am very disturbed by reports of planned cuts to CSIRO funding, leading to research job losses. Our national science agency needs to be well funded as an investment in Australia’s future. In an age of political misinformation, science remains as a provider of facts.”

Ralph Carlisle, Brisbane

It’s not a Zoom thing

“Australia should have dropped out of COP31 due to the fact that the air kilometres to get delegates here is self-defeating in our quest to lower emissions.”

Alan Inchley
