How many extra possums does it take to compensate for a dead platypus?
That’s the kind of calculation a bureaucrat would literally have to make under Environment Minister Murray Watt’s new ‘environmental laws’.

I don't understand this thinking.
Like we don't already have brilliant academics in Australia who are unable to find a job because our government woefully underfunds universities.
Like US academics are just so ~inherently brilliant~ instead of coming from well-funded institutions.
So frustrating.

Increasing numbers of scientists are eyeing opportunities in Australia, Canada, China and Europe amid threatened cuts to funding.
A brain drain hitting US universities is gathering pace as funding cuts and attacks on academic freedom have many academics leaving.
