This week, we expose whether Albo's quietly strangling Australia's science sector while claiming to be a "friend of science," reveal how Microsoft tried to scam 2.7 million Aussies with hidden price hikes until the ACCC stepped in, and watch Susan Ley pull off an absolute masterclass in saving Littleproud from a train wreck press conference with the sleepy koala defense.
Plus, the CSIRO returns $7 for every $1 invested but gets told that's not good enough value, we discover Australia spends $30 billion less on research than comparable countries while shipping our smart people overseas to invent stuff we then buy back at a premium, and Punter Jess alerts us to Microsoft's sneaky opt-out scam that jacked up subscription prices by 45%.
Also: LinkedIn bros needed for lobbyist headhunting, Conrad's bringing cardboard cutouts to the TikTok Awards, and we're officially recruiting Australia's first punter-powered lobbyist with $75K in the bank and a clean conscience as the signing bonus.
