That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

Liberals and nationals are going to write their energy plan on a piece of paper and hide it somewhere in Australia and whoever finds it will be their next leader #auspol
Pressed to outline how the LNP will reduce emissions with their new energy plan, Sussan Ley says they’ll rely on “breakthrough technologies” in about “25 years time”😳 - ones not invented yet & “we’re not talking about today”🤔

If the Coalition really was serious about addressing high energy prices they would have stepped out of today’s joint discussion to announce a retrospective gas reservation scheme to end local price gouging by the gas cartel. All talk, no walk. #auspol

Under Labor’s environmental reforms, project proponents don’t have to disclose scope 3 emissions, only scope 1 and 2 (see post 2/2 for definition). Why? Official’s avoided answering Senator David Pocock’s question on that🤷♂️. Looks like a job for #FOI. 1/2 #climate #auspol

The media keeps pushing the lie that fossil fuels are cheaper than renewables. They’re not. CSIRO and AEMO show solar and wind are far cheaper. The fossil fuel lobby funds the lie, and half our grid’s already renewable. The transition’s happening, like it or not.
