| High hopes: Greg Hunt speaking at the AFR Innovation Summit in August. |
A friend, having personally watched Greg Hunt in action, argues
he is probably one of the sharpest thinkers in the Turnbull Government.
Not for a second do, I
doubt my friend’s judgement and so I can do nought but suspect that his aptitude
for unvarnished and clear thinking has been sacrificed
to political needs.
The CSIRO was recently eviscerated of climate scientists and
now the Minister for Science he wants the
body to be the best public research organisation
in the world.
I’m confused and so is, I suspect, Mr Hunt the Turnbull
Government – gone with the rump of climate scientists is the idea of public
good to be replaced by the push for profit.
Read the story in today’s Melbourne Age - “Greg Hunt aims for CSIRO to become world's best public research organisation.”
