@drkerrynphelps Failure to fund research inevitably leads to mediocrity and paucity of ideas down the track. Researchers already have to spend far too much of their time trying to fund their research to the detriment of their creativity. Another example of bad governance.
I am the author of a unique blog (https://t.co/kn0VJnpTNz). A former priest and professor of Theology become an atheist, I have already published over 1300 posts to share with Believers on the Brink my reasons for rejecting religious credulity.

I am more convinced than ever it is time for churches, pseudo churches and those claiming to be churches paid taxes. Why should secular Australia bankroll, homophobes, frauds, misogynists, child abusers,main chancers and hypocrites ? Let them pass the plate and pay up.
@abcnews@Anne_Ruston@PatsKarvelas ‘My government’s policy has not changed’ - how true! Still insensitive, unsympathetic, authoritarian and on the nose.
