CSIRO job cuts fewer than feared but climate scientists say reduction a 'con'

Thirty-five jobs saved and half of remaining 75 to 80 climate scientists to go to new centre in Hobart

About 35 climate science jobs at the CSIRO have been saved from initial cuts of 110, as part of a restructure that includes the establishment of a new climate science centre in Hobart.

Of the organisation's remaining 75 to 80 climate scientists, half will go to the Tasmanian centre.
