Blog Site Bullying, Harassment and Victimisation in the CSIRO Comes to Light
A blog site “Bullying, Harassment and Victimisation in the CSIRO” has been reported in the Tasmanian Times. They state on their site that they aim to provide a point of contact and information for current and former employees of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) who have experienced bullying, harassment, victimisation or other forms of anti-social behaviour as a result of their employment with CSIRO.
The Victims Of CSIRO group was formed in mid-2011 as a result of conversations between a number of former CSIRO employees who all shared common experiences of bullying, harassment and/or coercive behaviour whilst employees of the CSIRO. It soon became apparent from the large body of information between the former employees that this was a significant issue requiring a coordinated approach to address effectively. A number of our members have previously approached CSIRO at both Senior Executive and Board level to address these issues without success.

- Congratulations on establishing this advocacy and support group for ethical CSIRO staff. It is long overdue.It is vital that the community get behind public sector employees who are prepared to speak out about
damaging workplace cultures.This type of bullying and divisive culture has direct implications for the integrity of the science that is released in the public domain by CSIRO.
