In short:
The CSIRO will slash up to 350 full-time equivalent jobs to address rising costs.
It comes on top of more than 800 positions being slashed in the past 18 months.
What’s next?
The job losses will come from across the country, with no details about what positions are at risk.
We need more scientists not less! smh
Research? No.
Development? No.
Innovation? No.
Only dig things from ground for billionaires.
Our country is going to shit.
Meanwhile, we spend billions on bloody consultants doing the work government employees used to do, for less money, might I add.

This is so sad. The CSIRO is one of the most important institutions in the country. I know of a couple of defence contracts we could get rid of to fund it.
