Facts among the first casualties in war against renewable energy
Opponents to climate action are deliberately using details out of context, and have done so countless times in the past.

The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol
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.

‘Pry open the jaws of Treasury’ to fund CSIRO amid hundreds of job losses, Labor MP Ed Husic tells own party
Husic, who oversaw CSIRO cuts as the former science minister, said some in government see scientific agency funding as a ‘cost’ not an ‘investment’
Ed Husic has challenged his own government to “pry open the jaws of Treasury” to boost funding for Australia’s national scientific agency after it announced up to 350 research jobs would be cut to deal with an imminent budgetary cliff.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) announced on Wednesday it would look to cut between 300 and 350 research unit roles as part of efforts to narrow its research scope and address an ageing property portfolio in need of urgent modernisation. Continue reading...

'Mutual obligations' are not mutual, but in adopting the Targeted Compliance Framework the Australian Government chose to abandon their legal obligations entirely.
This system harms, creates liability daily and it must cease. Minister can order it now, or be ordered to later in court.

These docs show that the Department knew many job providers' decisions are incorrect - and complain about the administrative burden of overturning them
Their solution? Give job providers new, automated powers to make harsher punishments w/ less government oversight. Legally disastrous
