Millions For Climate Alarmists, Breadcrumbs For Pensioners
B.P. Terpstra
Thanks to Gillard-Labor: there’s always millions to throw at eccentric leftwing “climate change” studies. Senior widows, on the pension, will have to make do with their breadcrumbs though.
Another project titled “Sending and responding to messages about climate change: the role of emotion and morality” by a Queensland university secured $197,302. The council said it was an important psychology project.
The study to determine if birds are shrinking was awarded $314,000 and another of sleeping snails to determine “factors that aid life extension” was given $145,000. Studying the early history of the moon will cost taxpayers $210,000 and another study looking at “William Blake in the 21st century” comes with a $636,904 bill.
“At a time when every available dollar could be put to backing innovation and research and development to make us more competitive, we have seen a growth in support for some real eyebrow-raising activities,” opposition finance spokesman Andrew Robb said.
