The early February decision of CSIRO CEO, Dr. Larry Marshall, reaches something of a climax on Saturday, April 2, when people will gather outside Melbourne’s Swanston Street State Library to show and voice their displeasure.
It was on February 4 that the CSIRO boss announced the mass axing of 350 scientists.
The rally will hear how the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull and his ministers have raided the CSIRO of the funding it needs to continue critical climate research.
Critics say this attack on climate science and environmental research compounding the untold damage already done to public science.
The Victorian Climate Action Network (VCAN) says these cuts to jobs and funding will further undermine Australia’s science capability that been built up over decades and will have an impact on many future generations.
Saturday’s rally begins at midday.
