Australia’s international reputation and diplomatic influence will be damaged if crucial climate change research in Antarctica is cancelled, international lawyers and environmentalists have warned.

After all the revelations in the Nash report and the Russell review, now this?? Appalling rhetoric from the AAD & government. Zero action taken to reduce work place harm, that they *admit* they have caused. Where is leadership? @tanya_plibersek
Exclusive: Dozens of climate projects in Antarctica are set to be cut due to a budget crunch. They include studies of sea ice - which is at a record low - and melting ice shelves. No scientists will observe penguin populations that are in rapid decline. theguardian.com/world/2023/a…

“The Russell report finally shines a light on the toxic culture of the Australian Antarctic Division but does it go far enough. Is there any accountability? Is there any punishment for the bullies?”

Going to work shouldn't be such an ordeal. Horrifying & heart-breaking to hear how widespread and sustained the harm has been. Well past time for deep change & accountability.
Solidarity with all the staff and their families & loved ones
Impact of workplace harm ripples beyond employees at Antarctic Division to families and our children.

Our youngest wrote “please don’t go to Antartica again” in my husband’s Christmas card this year.
(Here I was thinking I had done a fairly good job at shielding them.
I tried.)
