$212 million cut from science sector in the Budget - RNZ

Post by Michael Szabo »

"Last month, a total of $212 million was cut from the science sector in this Budget, which reprioritises existing research funding towards commercially focused science and innovation. ... The chief science advisor for the Department of Conservation has moved to Australia ... that's an expert in a cutting-edge field that we have lost to a company in Australia."
