Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Finance and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:39): I think I've clearly stated the basis for the government's decision-making in relation to these areas. I will just say again that as Australians we are rightly proud of the CSIRO. The CSIRO is a world-class organisation. That doesn't mean that every bit of research is immediately right on the mark, but the CSIRO, like any scientific organisation, understands that any research has to be appropriately tested and peer reviewed. They are absolutely committed to the appropriate rigours and transparencies that apply to any scientific organisations of this nature. That is, of course, appropriate. We completely support the important work the CSIRO does and we continue to stand by it.
