Although the CSIRO should get all the funding it requires, above some other things we seemingly throw money at. Some of these positions mentioned in the article looking at being reduced aren’t science positions…just HR/management related, in that case I have no issues. Lets fund Science not Managers.
I work in a large university with a policy of lumping as many administrative duties on the academics as possible.
Why do we want professors coding credit cards to university accounts, managing employment contracts and job listing’s, offices for staff, travel bookings ect ect? Is this how we want our tax payer grant money spent?

If you want scientists to be able to do science, they need support from admin staff doing admin.
