Mr WILKIE (Denison) (14:16): My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, this and the previous Labor government have already sacked 250 CSIRO Hobart staff and now 100 more face the axe. Mr Albanese interjecting— Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Denison will resume his seat. The Minister for Immigration and the member for Grayndler are continuing an interchange. I cannot hear the question, so I am going to ask the member for Denison to start again and we will start the clock again. I want to hear the question in silence. Mr WILKIE: Thank you, Speaker. This and the previous Labor government have already sacked 250 CSIRO Hobart staff and now 100 more face the axe. It is undeniable the government's funding cuts are greatly reducing Australia's ability to understand climate change, despite increasingly severe weather and rising sea levels. Universities cannot fill this gap so, Prime Minister, how will the government ensure that CSIRO's services are retained, here, to continue their vital role and meet our international responsibilities? (Time expired) The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister. The Leader of the House.
