Name: Karen Downing on Oct 31, 2012Comments: This is a very valuable resource for our children and the future of science within the territory, already there are certain science fields that have low numbers of qualified employees, by removing this position/program less territory students will find a love for sciences and numbers will further dwindle. Please keep this position to inspire young territory mindsFlag

Name: Harry Harris on Oct 31, 2012Comments: Stop trying to dumb down my child! He loves science, worships the CSIRO and will I hope become one of the productive minds of the future who will bring Australia in dollars when we can no longer sell rocks to China. Invest in the future CLP...Leave science and education out of your cuts.Flag

Name: Nicole Smith on Oct 31, 2012Comments: Science in schools is not only important for students to understand how and why we function on Earth work or to identify new medicinal options for the future, but it is also important for today’s society. Now! Scientists in mine and industry allow business to continue to operate. Assisting in finding an answer to how or why and ensuring there is continual improvement within the company’s effectiveness and efficiency. Humans are a source of energy, therefore humans are science.Flag

Name: Sara Martin on Oct 31, 2012Comments: The CSIRO is a fantastic program offering kids in schools and outside access to hands on science education. My kids love attending the events. This program will be a real loss to Darwin if funding is cut.Flag

Name: Samuel Brownscombe on Oct 31, 2012Comments: I am 10 years old and am a member of the CSIRO Double Helix Club. They have taught us a lot about science that teachers have not bothered to teach us at all. Their programs are really fun and make me want to learn more about science. Please keep CSIRO going!!!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Oct 31, 2012Comments: This is a vital role played by CSIRO in schools to assist the scientists of the future. Many science teachers are not fully trained in our schools and hence take up of science is declining. Soon our scientists will be imported! CLP is not about education and never was, step up CLP and assist the education of future scientists. Stop making the NT the blow in for all that we require, HOMEGROWN. CLP is and always will be about cost cutting. Disappointed Territorian!!!!Flag

Name: Matthew Brownscombe on Oct 31, 2012Comments: I am 7 years old. CSIRO is really really fun. They teach us stuff that we don't learn in school. I remember my first time doing robot programming. It was fun learning how to control stuff from the computer. Please cut something else. NOT CSIRO!!!Flag

Name: Kezia Purick on Oct 31, 2012Comments: I have had an involvement with the science centre stretching back 20 years. Science teaching is critical to the future of the Territory and fundamental to the minerals and engineering industries. I will be writing to the minister to re instate the position.Flag

Name: Dr Isabelle Lys on Oct 31, 2012Comments: I have been a member of Scientist in Schools for two years now. It is a great partnership between scientists, researchers and schools. The benefit to school students is enormous and the resource should continue in the future. NT students will be at a disadvantage if funding for this program is cut.Flag

Name: Vivek Bhat on Oct 31, 2012Comments: i regard the program as very valuabe and highly appreciative because of what it has been able to feed and nurture the young minds with and shape them as better territorians for tomorrow. Hopefully the positions required to run the programs effectively across the territory would be continued to operate and the good will prevails for ongoing good cause.Flag

Name: Daniel LOW CHOY on Oct 31, 2012Comments: I feel that the CSIRO Science Education Centres role is valuable and unique, it helps promote science in a way that is not available to students, the hands on applied nature feeds the imagination and plants that seed of interest and passion which will enrich the mind and hopefully help drive these kids to look at and investigate the world with a new and critical eye. Keep this facility running, don't isolate our kids any further, the Territory is a wild and wonderful place and needs to grow it's own critical thinkers for our future.Flag

Name: Anke Frank on Oct 31, 2012Comments: The CSIRO Science Education Centre seemed to me the thing that most people I have met in Darwin associate with the NT-Gov/CSIRO complex in Darwin and this has always been mentioned to me in a very positive way. For parents as well as kids, Darwin would be much better of closing pubs and opening more Education centres like the CSIRO one!Flag

Name: Norlinda Hasan on Oct 31, 2012Comments: CSIRO has provided a valuable service. Science continues to contribute to make our world a better one. Science has too often been sacrificed to other subject areas in the primary years of schooling. As an educator, I urge you to keep this position open so that our kids, the future leaders of Australia,do not grow to ignore the wonders of science.Flag
