Other questions include whether science organisation receives funding from China and whether it is a climate or ‘environmental justice’ project
hopefully those bodies are treating such a questionnaire with the respect it deserves
The Chaser and the NotTheChaser timestreams have gotten mixed up again
Does your organization encourage free speech and encourage open debate and free sharing of information? [yes/no]1. If yes, please describe.
“If you are not encuraging free speech, thats ok, but if you do, please elaborate”
I hope the answer was fuck off.
Hello Trump administration, are you taking appropriate measures to fuck off and mind your own business?
Titlegore but yeah I would hope that landed straight in the bin to be honest
The entire world needs to treat American investment as a potential threat/exploitable weakness, and have a Plan B ready.
It’s not enough for them to ruin our country with this shit, they have to try to ruin others?
Yeah, bugger off with that, mate!
What the actual fuck is happening
So like universities and scientific organisations have to fall in line with whatever odd ideas this guy thinks up to go after, or they lose the funding for research?
I really don’t like this direction. This is an unreasonable amount of control and a dangerous precedence to set
They’re using this tactic to get us used to them being in control of our nation.

Pretty clear choice for me. US administration are downright scum. I’d sooner we take our chances in a fragile geopolitical position than ever dance to their tune.
Start strengthening EU alliances. If we’re going to play politics of convenience that’s better done with China. They might be capable of things that shock us, but they also seem to value and respond to sensible economic exchange. It’s becoming rapidly apparent that the US are more about Russian style domination - you can’t even bargain with that.
Hit 'em with the old yn,gfc
Even though this is batshit insane, based on everything we’ve seen it’s reasonable to assume that the yanks will pull the funding regardless of whether the orgs accede to any of this bullshit. Of course, some of them don’t need any overseas encouragement to pull authoritarian shit.
Just waiting for them to declare the PBS is socialism and withdraw all medical research funding.
Leave 'em on read
Sure. Gender is a concept created by society. There are no genders at all. Gender idealogy destroyed.
Funniest possible response would be to send honest accents exclusively expressed in Australian slang.
“Is your organisation a climate or environmental justice project?”
“Yeah nah. We’re not hear to fuck spiders. Rollin’ up the sleeves an givin’ it a red-hot crack!”
