More on ARC job cuts & restructure:
ARC’s spending $374k on consultants for organisational “review” & “planning & development”.
They’re also spending $765k on “risk management”.
That’s $1.1 million on consultants being spent over 1 year.
Un. Believable.
Slow clap, ARC.

As an English speaking country (with nice beaches to boot) for the cost of a small tax on fossil fuel exports or high incomes Australia could invest in science, recruit researchers fleeing the US and become the knowledge powerhouse of the 21st Century. Instead we're doing this.
“CSIRO has announced it will slash up to 350 jobs as the national science agency grapples with long-term financial challenges … with current funding failing to keep pace with the rising costs of running a modern science agency.”
Not “challenges”. They’re choices. 😡
