My question is to the Prime Minister. The CSIRO has recently announced that 350 science and research jobs will go, and this is on top of the 800-plus CSIRO support roles that have already been cut this year. This is due to government funding not keeping up with costs. Will the government immediately invest the $75 million needed to stop the loss of these important jobs in science and research?
