My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Senator Sinodinos. I refer to the Turnbull government's decision to cut around 200 positions at the CSIRO. Won't these cuts to the CSIRO strip away the organisation's remaining climate science capacity and reduce the monitoring of climate change in the southern hemisphere? Can the minister confirm that both the Prime Minister and Mr Pyne signed off on these cuts.
