"Dr Stapper worked for the CSIRO for 23 years before he was sacked for criticising genetically engineered (GE) crops. He claims that senior CSIRO management bullied and harassed him in an effort to gag his criticisms of GE crops. He was forced to leave in March 2007, when his position with CSIRO?s plant industry division was made redundant.
?I could have continued working for the CSIRO but I would have to give up all my beliefs about good agriculture and keep my mouth shut about GE,? Stapper said. ?I didn?t want that because I have a connection with the farming community and they trust me.?
It?s not the only time the CSIRO has been accused of gagging it scientists. Earlier this year, a group of CSIRO senior climate scientists reportedly defied a CSIRO gag order preventing them from speaking out on Australia?s proposed greenhouse reduction targets. Similar accusations were levelled at the CSIRO in 2006."
