Tony Abbott has defended the government’s lack of a science minister, promising more money for medical research and lengthening the tenure of scientific grants.
Abbott told an audience of scientists at the prime minister’s prizes for science – awarded to the statistician Professor Terry Speed – that science was “absolutely critical” for the progress of humanity, calling scientists the “explorers and adventurers of our age”.

Almost a quarter of scientists, researchers and workers at Australia's premier science institution will lose their jobs under the federal government's present public service jobs freeze.
The blanket staff freeze across the public service threatens the jobs of 1400 "non-ongoing" workers at the CSIRO and could paralyse some of the organisation's premier research projects, with a ban on hiring, extending or renewing short-term contracts effective immediately.

Only a handful that graduate each year are good enough to get real jobs. The rest of them fight for scraps in universities or goverent research grants. Of course, to be any chance of getting on this gravy train you need the right ideology, and that starts with a love of big government.
