Federal Government was put into a sphere of blame by Victorian Senator Julian who accused the former of giving CSIRO a political bent regarding the climate change issue. These remarks were highlighted by McGauran after the announcement made at the release of CSIRO report stating humans responsible for the climate in Australia.

He said that CSIRO is no more an independent entity and that the Science Minister has been threatening the scientists at CSIRO for speaking whatever they are instructed. The Senator firmly said that CSIRO has become a political organisation with all the executives obedient to the ministers.

Shooting back to the allegations, Science Minister Mr. Carr said that he was really annoyed at the remarks. He indirectly blamed McGauran by saying that some people exist in the senate who are at "edge of political credibility". He said that people who are blaming and "undermining" the scientific institutions with such a respectable reputation are "extremists" and are least concerned about the harm they are causing to the country's character by doing so. Mr Carr blamed Mc Gauran of putting in best of his efforts to "avoid climate action".

Mr Carr stated, "It is an attack not just on science; it is also an attack on reason itself".

Denying the charges of compromise, Michael Borgas of CSIRO Staff Association said that the organisation functions with independent scientist having a reputed dignity.
