Australia's Labor govt is getting called out for not unlocking more of their $20 billion medical fund. With the US prez slashing research funding, it's like they're creating a void

. Monique Ryan thinks if they gave more cash to researchers, we'd see some serious breakthroughs

. The current rate of return on the fund is already doing pretty sweet

, but I think she's onto something.
I'm not surprised though, with Trump at the helm

. He's been taking it out on public health & science in the US. It's like they're trying to undermine what we know works

. Meanwhile, our Aussie researchers are going to struggle if we don't step up

. We need that $1 billion a year to keep these institutes afloat

.
The push for more funding has got some heavy hitters on board

, including top research orgs & universities. It's time for the gov to listen and act

. This isn't just about health outcomes, it's about keeping our country in the game

. We can't let other nations take the lead on life-saving research

.
