'Citizen science can produce reliable data'

["Lia Battisson" <>]

Every time I do a survey I worry about whether I'm doing well enough, but 
scientists in Australia are relying ever more heavily on volunteers for 
assistance.  Are we prepared to pay more taxes so that more can be spent on 
research?
