Here at the #CSIRO ON Accelerate Showcase. Looking forward to seeing what the teams are building.

The only reason I go to the ad infested #YouTube without ad-blockers these days is when my device does it against my will. Recently I was treated by an ad plugging #LOreal partnering with the "Great Barrier Reef Foundation". Given how #environmentally patchy cosmetics companies were, let's very briefly talk about about the GBR foundation.

Australians may remember GBRF from 2018, when the leader of the #Australian Right Wing Government GAVE the foundation $444 million of taxpayers money in a "captains call" (aka corruption). At the time, the foundation had only 6 employees and it's Board was made of past and present employees of energies companies; AGL Gas, Origin Energy, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Boeing and Qantas, while the Chairman’s Panel has links to Orica, Peabody Energy, and Shell.

To cut a long story short, the accusations are the foundation is a charity sink for big business and a way to defund #science, as now legitimate #CSIRO scientists have to go via a private entity owned by the wealthy. The 90 page donation contract not once mentioned #climatechange. The GBRF spends 90% of donations on "projects" so the 6 employees were going to buy some real nice pencils and office coffee machine for the $44 million that was going to get spent on Administration.

So, that's the past.
Anyone care to do some research what the money been spent on?
At first squints L'Oreal is just engaging is some corporate #greenwashing
