Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer to evidence that CSIRO failed to consult any of its partner agencies or a single university before cutting 100 climate science jobs. In light of this, does the minister agree that climate change modelling and research can simply transition to another body? Was the minister misled by the 1 February CSIRO briefing to the minister proposing such cuts?
