Professional non executive director and science commercialisation investor. All posts are my personal views are not those of any organisation I’m involved with.

@bob_parto Your entitled to your opinion as am I. The ALP, Greens and Teals all support it and they represent the largest majority of Australians. The LNP and One nation who supported your position don’t add up to 40%. Sussan Ley has made her support very clear. Your views are held by few.

@M_Demo1 @Tim_jbo The leader of any group is but a reflection of the group. Don’t look at the leader to identify the problem look at the organisation!

@KosSamaras @clovis_dm I sometimes hear people cheering Gaza or Ukraine wars as though they are in the grandstand at a footy match and you would think their lives depended on it - the tragedy is that they don’t and never have!

As someone working and investing in science commercialisation Leigh is spot on. We will see a terrible drop in the number of investors doing what we need than to do invest in Australia’s future!

It’s a tax on innovation. It’s a tax on creating the jobs of the future.

The super tax on unrealised gains is a disaster for venture capital funds in Australia, and will significantly reduce future capital raised to support the startups building our future.

@craigthomler @tw4goldstein Craig I expect you will be consistent and be as critical of the others who have celebrated their opponents defeat. You should also post praise for Peter Dutton on his most gracious acceptance of his own defeat. Send me a link to your posts I look forward to reading them.

As progressive politics slides further into cultural theatrics, the left must choose: double down on spectacle or rebuild trust through substance. This essay calls for a return to serious politics.

@NGruen1 My problem with it was the tone, it leans toward despair and resignation rather than constructive hope. I’m very down on post-modernism, to me objective truth, evidence is important. Undermining expertise and knowledge is dangerous. The quote links knowledge only to power. Bad.

[Russell Yardley @rmyardley]

@NGruen1 No I have not read the book. I was responding to what you said was a powerful quote. It was posted in isolation with one comment. No context. I disagreed. The quote only contain negative ideas and nothing to replace what it was condemning. That’s not powerful.

The Regressive Turn of Progressive Politics: Trump’s Return and the Backlash Against Moral Elitism https://t.co/l04fMVJ5TR

[Russell Yardley @rmyardley]

@TheOnlyEsta So you would like Trump to be able to run again? In a democracy you don’t make a sword that you would not like your worst enemy to wield!

@dalfonso @3AW693 Could please share your financial analysis that NSW and Victoria are similar? I look forward see a link to any such analysis as I must have missed it.

@Jochapman24Jc @craigkellyXXX No I read the paper! Words have meaning.

[Russell Yardley @rmyardley]

@anti_illiwacker @craigkellyXXX What you say here does not make sense and refers to no evidence. The paper provides a well structured and evidence based paper. Craig uses it in a very illegitimate way.

@ron_mccallum @SandyXiaotong I’ve worked with scientists much of my 45 year career. How many years and which scientific organisations have you worked with? We are discussing scientific and economic reports not boasts of any side of politics by parliamentarians. Don’t obfuscate or deflect address the issue.

[Russell Yardley @rmyardley]

@MichaelSarri @3AW693 And you don’t?

[Russell Yardley @rmyardley]

@goodfoodgal Your ignorance of science is obvious.

[Russell Yardley @rmyardley]

@migtronix @JoshButler Before you claim the moral high ground what do you say about Hamas? What do you say about the women, children and babies murdered and raped by the Palestinians on 7 Oct? Point out to me which Arab states provide a democratic, fair and pluralist society that we might admire?
