CSIRO government funded and government policy directed??

By Eco Guy 11:23pm 7th September 2011
We look at whether the CSIRO is a 'free' research organization or one whose research is driven by government policy.

According to wakeup2thelies.com Al Gore wants to use your Facebook and Twitter accounts to spam all your friends with his message during his 24 hours of reality campaign.

Apart from the security issues with giving anybody access to your accounts and the right to post as you there is just something plainly wrong with letting a 3rd party use your account like this to spam your friends with something you didn't write.

BTW If you want some fun around this event see the article on WUWT.

    Nice unbiased article! What a load - get some balance or don't report - have a look at who funded Raiche - do some research you are not qualified to comments and what gives you the right to slander the hard working scientists at the CSIRO- what if the type of research is determined by management , that does not mean the results are.

    So scientists have to justify the business case for their research well welcome to the real world so they cant go and research the underside of 2 c coins in rubbish tips to understand the bacterias component just in case it might help them in the future but their research has to e actually focused on something - hey why don't you go and do some research instead of repeating this mindless drivel - have a look a the history of Alan Jones and his pastrecord and see if he is trustworthy - Art is a bitter old man who is screaming for relevance who was in the pay of the mining company ( as sponsors ) for years.

      Lorax, commenting on a possible situation as to how the focus on research is determined is not slander; it's called fair comment. If it was the likes of Raiche and Evans would have been sued and their videos would not still be on the Internet...

      Yes justifying research is the usual case, but when you have what looks like a management which looks to government constantly for direction - thats a problem. Research should not be so restricted in its outlook.

      As regarding Art Raiches funding - any references I can have a look at? A search like 'art raiche funding mining' and variations on that theme find nothing of interest so far. Thanks.
