Once,the best known Australian voice was Judith Durham’s. With the Seekers and solo Judith earned her place as an icon of our music. In 1967 10% of the Melbourne population attended a single gig. What a contribution. What a loss. I am Australian will be played forever. RIP

You can always tell when someone's been talking to an energy expert, but only absorbing about 5 to 10% of what they need to absorb, and then just repeating a randomised collection of keywords they heard before

Yesterday @CSIRO and our partners, including @APCovenant , announced a bold mission to reduce plastic waste by 80% this decade. Together, we can create a future where plastic waste is an asset, and build an entire new industry in the circular economy. csiro.au/en/news/News-releas…

The USA, the UK, China, Continental Europe understand this by funding the best science...generously. If Australia wants to prosper then we must look beyond wealth buried in the ground or trapped in real estate. We must mine our minds or else fall behind. The choice is ours. – at Melbourne, Victoria

We need wholesale change. To inspire the public again with the beauty, majesty and benefit of science. Make it dinner conversation, a subject of current affairs programs. It's not 'academic'. Our lives and prosperity literally depend on it. 3/n – at Melbourne, Victoria
