Description

Are we on the cusp of a science brain drain in Australia?

Major job cuts are coming to the CSIRO — adding to the hundreds of positions already lost over the past 18 months. The Science Minister Tim Ayres insists the government “believes in science”... but do these cuts tell a different story?

And Australia is still jostling with Türkiye for the rights to host the next UN climate conference — but now independents are questioning how serious the government really is about securing the bid.

Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now.
