Labor Commits To CSIRO Jobs

BY IAN CROUCH

 Scientists at the CSIRO Energy Centre at Mayfield West are welcoming Labor's funding commitment to support the sector.

A Shorten Labor government would inject a further $250-million over 4 years to reverse what the ALP describes as senseless cuts to jobs and research under the Abbott-Turnbull government.

The CSIRO Staff Association says scientists employed in the public sector need to know their jobs are secure.


Unions claim 18,000 public service jobs have been axed under the Coalition government.

Labor candidates Pat Conroy, Meryl Swanson and Sharon Claydon sign a pledge to support public sector jobs
