You can set your watch to it.

Tell us again how it is all media hysteria whipped up to distract from the failing climate change hoax.

Tell us again.

H5N1 mutations are as consistent as the sunrise.

The tabloid media have moved "climate change" from the number one "hype" spot and are now running full bore with this thing.

Remember to purchase the advertised products.

All hype folks, all hype.

Any excuse for a Pogues song will do me.

Which is a catch 22 of a health emergency like this vs a war.

Given that most of the manufacturing sector will be locked in doors and unable to work.

It would have to be sectored and tailored to medical research/science/support industries, which would still require a major diversion of major fiscal, scientific and manpower resources. Funding would have to be diverted from other projects, i.e. Defence is usually the first to go in that respect.

The one major similarity between the two different emergencies would be the need to keep the primary industries going, people have to eat.

Fairytale of New York is still the best Christmas song... bit partial to the Irish Rover and Dirty Old Town myself

Scientific research is expensive, no doubt about it. Particularly the analytical instrumentation.

A half decent NMR instrument will set you back a couple of million bucks.

Need a biological fume hood? You're looking at $15-25K just to have the research space to work.

Fairytale of New York is still one of the best songs ever written. Period.

Shane McGowans lyrics are a gift.

Ticked off a bucket list item about 10 years ago. Saw the Pogues at Festy Hall. Was what I thought it would be

I broke a purge vessel and cost a lab 5k. If you can corner the market with a piece of scientific equipment you're laughing. Have some computer software that can be adapted with the times and you're laughing even harder. Just don't offer free trials...bastards will use 'runasdate'

Tef, my opinion of you just went up about 1000 points

And the Libs have cut it further.

The savage irony being that it was Australian researchers that developed Relenza.

The rates were not high to start with, no matter who is in office, with the exception of the Keating era. Historically speaking, the ALP have usually funded public R&D more, while the Liberals have encouraged private R&D.




The liberals have cut direct public funding, but have increased tax offsets and other incentives for private R&D. As you can see, private R&D accounts for a larger percentage of Australia's R&D and doesn't go too badly, but could be going better.

All R&D is expensive and has been since 1945 due to the high level technology requirements.
