🤖❄️ Scientists at #Australia's #CSIRO deployed an Argo float near #TottenGlacier in 2020, but #Antarctic currents sent it under the Denman ice shelf instead. After nine months of measuring temperature and salinity, the float emerged with never-before-collected #data revealing how ice shelves are melting.

The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2025-11-19/csiro-cuts-tip-australia-science-funding/106026174 #CSIRO #science #research #innovation
Are CSIRO’s sweeping job cuts a sign Australia doesn’t care about the extinction crisis?
Cuts to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation include:
"climate intelligence and advice; unlocking net zero; waste; and valuing and restoring biodiversity, nature and healthy ecosystems."
“… The direction appears to be, at the moment, that we are prepared to drop the ball on our extinction crisis, our global leadership in biodiversity science or in Southern Ocean science.”

@butterscotch
The Govt seems happy to let the #FossilFuelIndustry and #ExtractiveIndustries enjoy virtually tax-free profits. It seems happy to bail-out failed companies to save jobs ‘in the national interest’ (aka political nous), but can’t bring itself to justify funding #CSIRO and keep “those’ jobs. What kind of bloody-minded govt is that @AlboPM ? What gives? Is this what #LaborVoters asked of you?
CSIRO cuts highlight which jobs government protects in national interest
Sometimes, scientific breakthroughs can originate in the most unlikely of places. Curious and clever minds can come up…

Will the government’s cuts to the CSIRO produce the right results? | Fiona Katauskas https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2025/nov/20/will-the-governments-cuts-to-the-csiro-produce-the-right-results #Researchfunding #Australianews #CSIRO

We call on the Albanese Government to:
1. Make an urgent investment in the upcoming MYEFO to stop these devastating CSIRO job cuts, and
2. Commit to long-term, sustainable funding that rebuilds our national science capability rather than managing its decline.
@Spoon@aus.social yeah but no wukkas, coz elbow says he's, & they're, "friends of science" [in specific context of latest #csiro debacle, but... well, y'know].

#crikey take on the #labor farce called leadership. #csiro #COP30 #edhusic the last of the true #labor only after he got shafted.
As usual, one of the best #Labor Ministers not in Cabinet, Ed @edhusicmp.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy made some excellent points & points out the failure of the post-election changes by the “factional assassin” ! ✅🥂 #AusPol #CSIRO
![Ed Husic on CSIRO cuts: 'we need to start valuing and having faith in Australian ideas'
Labor MP Ed Husic is on Afternoon Briefing talking about the loss of hundreds of CSIRO jobs. He said investing in the CSIRO and science and research is an investment in the future.
We need to start valuing and having faith in Australian ideas. I’m personally sick of seeing an idea that began in an Australian mind [ending up as] a product made in another country. We need to address that.
Some of the driest, driest minds in the sphere of government, notably treasury and finance, do view these things as a cost. You know, in some cases their view is, if another country wants to spend money and they turn an idea into a product that we just buy off the shelf, that’s great.
I actually think that’s the worst example of short-term thinking you can have when [we] need a long-term commitment to back in science and research.

350 jobs on the line at CSIRO. This is despicable. Well done to Pocock for rightfully pointing out that “In opposition, Labor called for better funding, yet in government they are delivering cuts.” The hypocrisy. WTF are Labor doing?

How many thousands of years of experience and expertise has our preeminent science & research body lost over the past decade or so?
It’s so sad. What a massive loss to the nation and our futures.
Wake up.
