CSIRO chief executive says Peter Dutton's comments on energy report 'corrode public trust in science'
CSIRO CEO Dr Doug Hilton is urging politicians not to undermine scientists in the energy debate, after finding himself in the political firing line.
Earlier this year, the national science agency released its annual GenCost report, which found powering Australia with nuclear energy would cost about twice as much as renewables.
It sparked Peter Dutton, who will be campaigning on nuclear energy in the next federal election, to call the report "discredited".
"It'snot relied on. It's not a genuine piece of work," Mr Dutton said.
Dr Hilton released a statement at the time defending the report, before Mr Dutton doubled down on his comments.[...]

Good positive thoughts and suggestions Dr Hilton. Would you mind issuing the same appeal to a member of the scientific club who comes out with the most outrageous things after he consults with his feng shui guru. That member is none other than alleged Professor Flannery.
