This is being done by the #APS Australian Public Service - whose ranks included the enablers & rubber-stampers of +10 years of abuse and neglect of #Australia's frail and vulnerable aged care residents, the "So sad. Too bad." amoral thugs who poured the acid of #RoboDebt onto +400,000 innocent heads, and Commissioners who chose not to stand in the way of illegal mistreatment & unlawful barbarity.

I have no confidence in #eSafetyCommissioner #JulieInmanGrant.
#HowHighSir?

Back to school grump: #aps shared it’s back to #school PD and it’s 1) Gathering the thousands of APS teachers into a room, and 2) listening to a keynote speaker talk about #studentengagement when he works at a #charterschool that declines #IEP students. So, 1) Wear a mask, people, because this sounds like how we start the 2025-26 #COVID outbreak, and 2)This #elementary #teacher will let you all know how #hiphop is going to magically get parents to take their 7 year old to school. 1/3

@mike_k
I don't know, maybe #RoboDebt, years of #AgeCareQualityAndSafetyCommission failures, the on-going deaths linked to the (perhaps unlawful) cutting off of benefits, the decades of abuse of children in government care, a public service in which PS lawyers find themselves bullied into participation in unlawful acts, a PS which says "Yes sir, how high?" instead of providing info on limits, really is a dangerous thing, something better not emulated?

@apsmith Thank you for pointing to the statements. When I was in Anaheim at the Town Hall, I also got the feeling APS was serious about countering the funding cuts (and, apparently, the indiscriminate firings). Here in this post, though, my focus was rather on the way the government seems to use the threat of wholesale research funding cuts to enforce desired behaviour in areas that have nothing to do with research. In a way, that seems (to me) way more concerning than a government trying to save money by reducing science funding, unfortunate as that is in itself.

So, Harvard and other universities who are courageous enough to not immediately give in to demands should be publicly supported by #APS, that is my hope. My fear is that #APS will make the preservation of funding its only issue.

(please boost for reach) Does anyone have any insight into whether/how the #AmericanPhysicalSociety is going to react to the ongoing extreme pressure that is being put on #Harvard and other universities?

After all, the pressure also involves dramatic threats to cut fundamental research funding across the board unless certain demands are met to censor academics? It would seem this is exactly the kind of issue that has direct impact on physics research that the APS should take a public stand on. It would also seem that statements by the #APS and other research societies could provide critically needed support and thereby have a real impact at this point in time, maybe the last good opportunity to do so.
