Corruption Allegations Rock Australia's CSIRO
An anonymous reader writes "Australia's premiere government research organization, the CSIRO, has been rocked by allegations of corruption including: dishonesty with 60 top-class scientists bullied or fired, fraud against drug giant Novartis, and illegally using intellectual property, faking documents and unreliable testimony to judicial officers. CSIRO boss Megan Clark has refused to discipline the staff responsible and the federal police don't want to get involved. Victims are unimpressed and former CSIRO scientists are calling for an inquiry."
Just in case somebody was napping on their history classes:

CSIRO-linked company DataDot also said it was concerned about the leak of confidential information, saying it appears to have been made ‘‘by a person disgruntled with the CSIRO and ... not from anyone currently employed by DataTrace or DataDot’’.Nevertheless, the company apologises unreservedly for this breach of confidentiality and reserves its rights against the person causing the breach.’’ http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/shares-tumble-after-csirolinked-company-announces-inquiry-20130415-2hum1.html datadat should care about TEN YEARS JAIL FOR FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!! but maybe hope lard arses at AFP wont climb out of chairs
