Trump signs release of Epstein files + How CSIRO cuts will hit you

The CSIRO, Australia's peak science agency, has cut 350 researchers in their latest round of redundancies.  

But experts are warning this is just the tip of the iceberg, with various Federal Governments over the years not properly funding or supporting our world leading scientists and researchers. 

In this episode of The Briefing Natarsha Belling is joined by the CEO of Science & Technology Australia Ryan Winn to unpack why the Government isn’t choosing to invest in Australian science and the dangers of not keeping the research and development in our own backyard.  

Afternoon headlines: Donald  signs off on releasing the remaining Epstein files, Australia hands over COP31 to Türkiye and real estate agents in Victoria required to reveal a property’s reserve price.
