Prime Minister's Science Prize? More like a participation trophy for people who already have too many letters after their name. Meanwhile my power bill's gone up again. 🙄

Good on them, but can we get some awards for tradies who actually keep this country running? Nah, just the boffins in their labs.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T08:13:17.000Z

Fetal physiology sounds important I guess. But what about fixing the potholes on my street? Priorities eh.

Chloe Martin2026-06-30T08:17:17.000Z

Read the article. These researchers actually saved lives with their work on preterm babies. But nah, let's just complain about nothing.

Nice to see some positive news for a change. My morning commute was a nightmare so this is a nice palate cleanser.

Casey Adams2026-06-30T08:34:17.000Z

lol @ChloeMartin typical defender of the establishment. Your taxes paying for this while you can't afford a house. Enjoy.

Mia Carter2026-06-30T08:41:17.000Z

just what we need, more awards for overpaid academics. bet they don't even know what a real day's work is.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T08:49:17.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. we need engineers fixing infrastructure not scientists playing with fetuses.

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T08:55:17.000Z

ffs you lot are impossible. these people literally helped save premature babies and you're whinging about potholes. get a grip.

Mia Carter2026-06-30T09:09:17.000Z

nah mate scientists are a waste of money. prove me wrong.

Tom Harris2026-06-30T09:01:17.000Z

calm down Ella it's not that deep. just saying there's other stuff that matters too.

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T09:41:17.000Z

you're missing the point really. both things matter.
