OPINION ONLY
Donna Staunton(Part 2: Timeline post-tobacco — AMP and CSIRO)— The most prominent lawyer/lobbyist for the Australian tobacco industry who went on to become the Director of Communications at the Australian government's most prestigious scientific research establishment, after decades of declaring most science was "junk". —This is an attempt to tease out the time-line associated with Donna Staunton's employment history with the CSIRO.
It is necessarily vague, contradictory, incomplete, and sometimes wrong, simply because so much effort has gone into concealing the facts. After leaving Philip Morris, Donna Staunton took up a prime position as the Senior VP of Corporate Affairs with the AMP Society — Australia's top life insurance company, which had been a mutual and a prominent and highly respected Australian institution until it was privatised and began to engage in international adventures. Her boss George Trumbull at the Society had virtually destroyed the institution (losing billions of dollars) and desparately needed an image make-over so a top corporate disinformation specialist from the tobacco industry must have seemed perfect for the job. She wasn't to know that he was about to scamper back to the USA will million of dollars in every pocket; this was a major scandal at the time and came to characterise corporate excesses and executive greed. She appears to have been sidelined by the incoming CEO, and shunted off to the AMP Foundation which is a subsidiary which gives grants to worthy organisations. At about this time she resigned and set up her own consultancy business with the AMP as one client. She also managed to gain an enormously lucrative consultancy with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), which is Australia's premier scientific research outfit. This position was converted into a salaried position at a rate which was many times higher than the senior research scientists in the organisation. In fact, on a daily rate, it was higher than the Australian Prime Minister.

2003 Aug: CSIRO Board approves the "Communications Strategy 2003-2007 strategy."
2003 Sep: At this time the CSIRO had two Ministers: The Senior Cabinet Minister for Education, Training and Science, Brendan Nelson, ex-AMA director from NSW and fierce anti-smoking activist; and a junior Minister of Science Peter McGauran from Victoria.
Since Brendan Nelson would have known Donna Staunton from previous battles, it has always been difficult to understand how her appointment to the CSIRO was possible given that it was clearly being made by McGauran at the political level — with Victorian State Liberal party involvement.
The problem disappears, however, when you know that Tom Switzer, who had trained with the American Enterprise Institute, and then worked for the Institute of Public Affairs in Melbourne, was Brendan Nelson's Senior Policy Advisor.
2003 Sep: An offer was made to recruit Steven Murphy (ex Jeff Kennett's media officer, now a disk jockey in Melbourne) but this was "blackballed politically" and there was no readvertisement.
2003 Oct: The key CSIRO Corporate Communications staff
- Donna Edman (Government Relations)
- Rebecca Scott (Internal Communications)
- Lillian Harrison (External Communications)
- Richard Forbes (Media)
- Sian Manley (CSIRO Enquiries)
Korn/Ferry International (headhunters) were paid fees of $88,939. "Following the first round of inverviews in August 2003, Staunton expressed an interest in applying for the position and was asked [by CSIRO executives] to submit a formal application to Korn/Ferry International [Source: Senate Estimates Question/Reply]
2003 Oct 27: (Appointed formally November) Staunton's un-tendered, rolling contract was renegotiated as another un-tendered rolling contract as Acting Director of Communications at the CSIRO. She was to be paid $1,375 per day.
2003 Oct 27: Staunton was re-engaged as Acting Director of Communications on contract, with no tender, and on the same terms as before. For the next 3 months to February 29 2004 her fees were $93,000
2004 Feb 29: Staunton's contract period ends (total 11 months). For the entire contact period from 7 April 2003 she earned $236,000 plus expenses.
2004 Mar 1:: Peter Pockley of Australasian Science learned of Staunton's appointment before it was made public after she told some partliamentarians. Pockley had submitted written questions to the CSIRO about her contract, which had by then turned into an appointment/employment. [The CSIRO has 150 officers categorised as "communicators"]
2004 March 15:: to June 2: Sometimes during this period the title of her position was upgraded to Executive Director of Communications, but this was not announced internally. Until July 2004 her 'company' web site continued to advertise her availability and had not declaration of her CSIRO engagement.
2004 Mar 2: Donna Staunton was formally appointed to the position but the extent of her tobacco-lobbying background was conceled from CSIRO scientists and her division's staff.
Korn/Ferry International (headhunters) were paid fees of $88,939 for finding someone already acting in the position. The Senate Estimates Committee had been told that
"Following the first round of inverviews in August 2003, Staunton expressed an interest in applying for the position and was asked [by CSIRO executives] to submit a formal application to Korn/Ferry International"[She didn't apply formally, nor did she go through the normal two-stage selection panel process]
Appointment announced to CSIRO staff — but played down her lifetime tobacco lobbying experience. Her appointment was now a staff position for 4.75 days per week, at a rate which Garrett refused to divulge to the Senate Estimates Committee.
2004 April: Peter Pockley's critical article appears in Australasian Science. It exposes the Staunton appointment by the new head of the CSIRO, Geoff Garrett and he immediately blackballs the magazine.
See Pockley's later reply to Senate Estimates Inquiry: Page 10 
2004 April: The US Tobacco Manufacturer's Association (TMA newsletter) Executive Report says:
Some senior scientists and science commentators in Australia have expressed surprise and concern over the recent appointment of Donna Staunton, a former vice president of Philip Morris and chief executive of the Tobacco Institute of Australia, to the position of director of communications for CSIRO, one of the country's leading scientific research organizations.
2004 April 1: and May 24 Geoff Garrett and Ron Sandiland both wrote to Peter Pockley objecting to his article and the cartoon that accompanied it. Sandiland wrote:
I am personally highly offended by the tone and presumption of your article. In this context, I am not willing to respond to your requests for information, and I must reluctantly question whether your credibility as an objective and informative science journalist is at risk.http://www.aph.gov.au/Senate/committee/eet_ctte/es (etc.)
The tasteless and innuendo-laden cartoon that appears in your publication is surely the nadir of Australian science journalism. I cannot understand how a journalist whose integrity I have valued could have santioned such a scurrilous piece of junk."
2004 Apr 25: Article William Birmbauer for Sunday Age "CSIRO job for tobacco defender"
Dr Garrett now has less than two years to go in his five-year appointment and has declared his priorities by making an intriguing appointment as Director of Communications
The job specification did not require the appointee to have any background in science or its communication. After working as a consultant for CSIRO since last May and being appointed Acting Director on 27th October the new full-time Director from the 1st of March is Ms Donna Staunton.
When CSIRO management made a brief announcement to their staff of her engagement it did not mention her background but said she is highly regarded in political and corporate spheres.
This is strange as Staunton does not shrink from declaring on her own website that she had a long period of work with the tobacco industry. She was a lawyer with Clayton Utz where she handled briefs for tobacco cases and then became Chief Executive Officer of the Tobacco Institute of Australia and Vice President for Corporate Affairs of the Philip Morris Group.
A question on notice from Senator Carr has revealed Staunton's fee on contract was $ 22,000 per month while Acting Director for four days per week That rate is $264,000 annually and pro rata for five days per week the full-time contract would be around $330,000 a year This places Staunton in the top four earners in CSIRO at roughly three times the salary of a senior research scientist
CSIRO's statement to the Senate shows that Ms Staunton is not a staff member but is engaged on a contract with Staunton Consulting Ltd She states she has expertise in risk management and reputation management.
As chief executive of the Tobacco Institute of Australia, Donna Staunton questioned the medical consensus that cigarette smoking was addictive, pointing out that millions of Australians had given it up.The Age also published a statement that has subsequently been proved not to be true:
"I do not believe that cigarette smoking is an addiction, based on any reasonable definition," she told a Senate committee in 1994.
Last month, Australia's leading scientific research organisation, the CSIRO, appointed Ms Staunton director of communications and the eyebrows of some senior scientists and science commentators hit the roof.
How on earth, they wondered, could Ms Staunton, a former vice president of Phillip Morris, communicate preventive health messages given her defence of Big Tobacco? And what did she know about science anyway?
A nasty dust-up followed - the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation's staff association received motions of concern from staff, the Australasian Science magazine wrote a scathing editorial, and Ian Lowe, the emeritus professor of science, technology and society at Griffith University, said: "The only use she ever made of science was to try to obfuscate the issue of the health risks of tobacco."
Dr Sandland confirmed that Ms Staunton worked for CSIRO as an acting director while Korn Ferry was looking for candidates to fill the position. She was shortlisted and went through the same process as other candidates.
"In the end she was the unanimous choice for the role," he said. The fee paid to Korn Ferry was "below that normally charged".
[The fee charged was not the fee paid. The CSIRO cut back Korn Ferry's fee because it had not found, shortlisted, or put her "through the same process as other candidates."
She was selected personally by Garrett and Sandiland after the Korn-Ferry selection process had run its course and the company had failed to turn up what Garret said was a suitable candidate.]
2004 June: Institute of Public Affairs Newslaetter attacks:
Michael Borgas, President of its [CSIRO] staff association, and a senior scientist in its Division of Atmospheric Research.http://www.ipa.org.au/library/review56-2.pdf
After an extensive search, CSIRO recently hired Ms Donna Staunton as Director of Communications, an appointment which Mr Borgas condemned. Why? Donna's sin was that she was formerly a non-paid director of the Institute of Public Affairs, an organization 'that questions the link between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.'
2004 June 2: Labor Senator Kim Carr at the Senate Estimates challenged the selection of Staunton, following the revelations of Peter Pockley.
The Senate Estimates committee learned that she was employed for 4.75 days a week, but the CSIRO declined to state her salary. {See Hansard]
2004 Jul 1: A long press-release from the Australasin Science magazine: CSIRO Spins a Doosra to Senators Staff and Public.
An investigative study published in the July edition of Australasian Science has found that CSIRO Chief Executive Dr Geoff Garrett and his Deputy Dr Ron Sandland gave incorrect or incomplete answers to the Senate in an Estimates hearing on 2 June.
In articles published tomorrow Australasian Science reveals:
- CSIRO Director of Communications Ms Donna Staunton has not publicly retracted comments she made about the addictiveness of nicotine while serving as Chief Executive of the Tobacco Institute of Australia. CSIRO claimed in the Senate that a letter Ms Staunton wrote to a noted antismoking campaigner was a public repudiation of her stance and presented no barrier to her appointment.
However the recipient of that letter Prof Simon Chapman of the University of Sydney maintains:"Staunton's letter to me was private and I only copied it as such for information to the Australian Cancer Society board and one or two others Australasian Science publishes extracts from the letter that are not personal."
While CSIRO management has never disclosed Ms Staunton's background to CSIRO staff or in answers to questions in Estimates hearings, Australasian Science publishes a soundly sourced account of Ms Staunton's employment record.
- Ms Staunton brought to CSIRO 16 months experience in communications and no experience in science or its communication. Amid controversies over contracts awarded to other consultants without tenders CSIRO contracted Ms Staunton on $22,000 per month for a 4-day week plus substantial undeclared expenses. Her full salary remains secret.
- In a written answer to a Question on Notice E767: CSIRO advised the Senate that contracts were awarded for Ms Staunton's services through Staunton Consulting Ltd. A search by Australasian Science through the Australian Securities and Investments Commission found no record of such a company either current or deregistered. There is only a record for a business Staunton Consultancy. The question remains as to the entity to which CSIRO paid its fees.
- Dr Garrett told Estimates that as Ms Staunton is now a member of staff she requires the Chief Executive's permission for external work. When Senator Kim Carr noted that the website for Staunton Consultancy was still advertising her services on 2 June Dr Sandland replied:
"I am sure that is an oversight I will attend to it forthwith."
However the website remains online to this day.- When Senator Carr questioned why Ms Staunton's 2003 Communications Strategy was remarkably similar to a Communications Revolution plan produced by communications staff on 25-27 July 2001, Dr Sandland attributed responsibility for the 2001 plan to Ms Staunton's predecessor Ms Di Jay.
However Australasian Science reveals that Ms Jay did not join CSIRO until 3 months after the plan was finalised and accepted by CSIRO's management and Board.
Australasian Science has directed numerous questions to Dr Garrett in writing and repeated requests for an interview with Ms Staunton. All have gone unanswered. Dr Garrett and Dr Sandland have neither challenged previous articles published in Australasian Science nor asked for a right of reply. Instead they have stated their intention to blackball Peter Pockley, Australia's pioneer science reporter with four decades of experience, and Australasian Science, now in its 25th year. The full correspondence is published in Australasian Science.
In its editorial, Australasian Science criticises this stance as it contradicts Ms Staunton's Communications Strategy which seeks to position CSIRO's executive team as open and transparent leaders.
Australasian Science challenges Dr Garrett, Dr Sandland, and Ms Staunton to make themselves available for open interview and public discussion on science its communication and CSIRO's standards [Source: Press release]
2004 July 12: Twenty CSIRO communicators and educators put their names to an open letter to the Aust Science Communicators email network. The letter was a statement of unity behind CSIRO's Communications Director, Ms Donna Staunton, but stated up front that the signatories did not "reflect any 'official' CSIRO viewpoint".
However, a memo distributed by Staunton four days earlier undermines the implied claim that the letter was independent of the CSIRO Executive. "We are currently drafting a response to the criticisms raised by Australasian Science," Staunton wrote on 8 July. "The response will be published in the upcoming Monday Mail and copied to the Australian Science Communicators list."
In the Monday Mail to all CSIRO staff on 12 July, Chief Executive Dr Geoff
Garrett stated that "a number of the articles published by the magazine are
misleading and/or factually incorrect".
2004 July 14: Senator Brown asked the Minister representing the Minister for Science and the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing the following question, upon notice in the Australian Senate:
(1) Ms Staunton has not taken on any consultancy work since her employment as an officer of CSIRO began on 1 March 2004. Prior to that date, Ms Staunton was engaged by CSIRO as a consultant.http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display (etc.)
Ms Staunton was engaged by Pfizer as a consultant for a short period in 2002, well before she had any involvement with CSIRO.
Ms Staunton was engaged as a consultant by MIA [Group (a leading provider of imaging services)] until the end of January 2004.
(2) At the time of appointment, Ms Staunton declared her involvement on three Boards (WorkCover NSW, The Global Foundation and the National Breast Cancer Centre. (Ms Staunton's term expired for the latter in April 2004). CSIRO conforms with the standard Commonwealth Government practice of maintaining a register of the private interests of senior executives. Under this process Ms Staunton's private interests will be monitored on a regular basis.
2004 July 26: And ASC member reported:
It is perhaps worth noting that although the 'Staunton Consultancy' website is still live (and still continues to showcase Ms Staunton's experience representing the tobacco industry) it now has the following paragraph added:http://lists.asc.asn.au/pipermail/asc-list/2004-Ju (etc.)"Since March 2004 Donna Staunton has been engaged by CSIRO and is presently the Executive Director of Communications. As such she is not available for private consulting work."(see: http://www.dstaunton.com ).
2004 Nov: HANSARD RECORDS:
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
- Senator Kim Carr [Labor Party] again raised the issue of Ms Donna Staunton's appointment to the position of Executive Director of Communications and her role in the organisation, and issues relating to the employment conditions and the circumstances of the appointment of people in the CSIRO public relations area.
- There was further questioning on the former head of media and internal communication, Mr Norman Abjorsensen, his appointment and the allegations made in his letter of resignation regarding inappropriate methods of how the panel selected preferred tenders in media training to facilitate media training for CSIRO's officers.
- Senator Carr questioned CSIRO on the upgrading and redesigning of the CSIRO website. It was explained that this involved the designing a new single site to reflect the unified organisation, incorporating 253 web presences of CSIRO businesses, expected to result in maintenance savings.
- Senator Carr questioned CSIRO regarding Dr Peter Pockley, a journalist from the Australasian Scientist, [who is] now denied [any of the organisation's] supplied information, despite long association with the CSIRO. It was explained that this had been a result of Dr Pockley's unrealistic demands to supply information at short notice.
2004 Nov: The CSIRO's Annual Report shows her salary was in the range of $260,000 to $330,000. In February they said it was at the top of this range. She maintains offices in both Canberra and Sydney, but expenses are additional.
2004 Dec: Norman Abj¿rensen resigned from CSIRO
2005: CSIRO paid Korn/Ferry $88,939 to select her. Richard Webster, the CEO of Korn/Ferry in Australia was also a member of both the boards of British American Tobacco, and of Nick Greiner's WD & HO Mills tobacco company. His two senior executives were (Thomas) Gary Reidy and Tim Flay, both ex-executives of British-American Tobacco.
Craig Fuller, who was once the chief disinformation executive in Philip Morris (USA) Corporate Affairs and Donna Staunton's ultimate boss, was later the US CEO of the Korn/Ferry International division involved in executive recruitments.

[He was fined $30,000 for his role in the Hardies asbestos debacle in Sept 2009] |
2005 Feb: Peter Pockly's response to the CSIRO about comments (on the selection of Donna Staunton) made during the Federal Senate Estimates hearings.
Pockley, probably Australia's most respected science journalists, had been black banned by the top two CSIRO executives.
This was supposedly because of an article in Australiasian Science magazine (which he edits) on Donna Staunton's appointment, which included a cartoon of a CSIRO character in bed with a cigarette.
The director had written:
"The tasteless and innuendo-laden cartoon that appears in your publication is surely the nadir of Australian science journalism. I cannot understand how a journalist whose integrity I have valued could have sanctioned such a scurrilous piece of junk"
2005 April: Australiasian Science (detailed in later article (Apr 06) "Gagging Row Rattles CSIRO Executives")
Staunton spun the false line that CSIRO had not blackballed Australasian Science in mid-2004, but in letters to the AFR, {Staff Association President, Dr Michael] Borgas (20 January) and former CSIRO Chief of Entomology Dr Max Whitten (23 January), challenged her claims, and huge salary ($300,000+). She returned to her bunker.
The wide relevance of these exchanges became apparent when The Canberra Times revealed CSIRO's boost to fossil fuel research while cutting renewable energy (4 February), and ABC's Four Corners (13 February) exposed the gagging of CSIRO scientists on environmental issues, especially climate change.
Three former senior scientists spilled the beans on how CSIRO managers restricted them from engaging with the media — Dr Graeme Pearman (AS, April 2005, p.43), Dr Barrie Pittock and Barney Foran.
2005 Apr: Australasian Science. Norman Abj¿rensen was engaged by Staunton in 2005 as one of her team of in-house communicators. Abj¿rensen was a good catch as he brought extensive experience at senior levels in the media and in science-related fields (notably pharmacy).
He records how he rapidly became disillusioned by Staunton and her master Garrett for their naivetŽ in dealing with the media and staff.
"Garrett is ever suspicious of internal communication, seeing its prime objective as neutralising or even stifling dissent"After telling Staunton of his concerns she "became agitated , telling me perhaps that I needed to 'reconsider' my position. I did and resigned in December 2004". ["The Insider", Australasian Science, April 2005, pp 39-42]
"Staunton herself will not talk to the media (which is extraordinary for a communications director) and will not appear where she might be questionedÉ Staunton, who has told me and others in CSIRO how much she loathes the media, has never worked in the media."
| Whoever pays the piper calls the tune |

| 2007 CSIRO admitted that the coal industry had the power to suppress a new report questioning the cost and efficiency of clean-coal carbon-capture technologies because they partly funded the research. |
2005 Dec: Nature magazine criticise the CSIRO for their beat-up of what was termed "Hyperbolic" claims that the high-protein "CSIRO Diet" had been "scientifically proven".
2006 Jan 4: Dr Michael Borgas, Staff Association President at the CSIRO called for her resignation in an article which appeared in the Canberra Times.
2006 Jan 7: The Australian Financial Review ran a story highly critical of the CSIR0 employing her.
2006 Feb 11: Canberra Times ran a story "Dark cloud for scientists"
2006 Feb 18: Canberra Times ran a story "Unhappy wellbeing week for CSIRO"
At this time the CSIRO Executive Dr Steve Morton, had been grilled in Senate Estimates by Labor Senator Penny Wong, and had admitted that former [Liberal] Science Minister Peter McGauran had heavied him to clamp on CSIRO scientists' involvement with the Wentworth Group of conservation scientists, but McGauran later "denied" it.
2006 Feb 18: Staunton in a letter to the editor published in the Australian Financial Review, claimed that Peter Pockley and the Australasian Science magazine had not been blackballed by the CSIRO in mid 2004.
2006 June 12: The Sydney Morning Herald, Stay In Touch column by Damien Murphy "SPIN CYCLE":
It's goodbye to Donna Staunton, the CSIRO's executive director of communications, who in a 27-month career at the country's leading scientific research organisation seemed to attract more attention than a mad scientist with a machete.http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/06/11/11499644 (etc.)
Staunton had been in the job barely a month in April 2004 when it emerged that one of her previous tasks had been chief executive of the Tobacco Institute of Australia, a post that sat oddly with those of a scientific bent who had come to the medical consensus that cigarette smoking was addictive.
Then the former cigarette girl starred in a Senate estimates hearing in February 2005, partly for her stunning achievement of earning $330,000 a year - $52,000 more than the Prime Minister. Staunton became symbolic of the unhappiness that had crept into many CSIRO lives with the arrival from South Africa of Geoff Garrett as chief executive.
Garrett was Staunton's greatest champion in her rough ride as head of CSIRO spin, and said her warm personal style would be missed, as would her humour under fire.
Staunton, who was preparing lunch for 10 at her Bellevue Hill home yesterday, confirmed she would leave the CSIRO in mid-July to run her own business
2006 Jun:: See Australasian Science article by Peter Pockley on the CSIRO problems with Garrett and Staunton
2006 July 14: /E Staunton resigned from the CSIRO 'to spend more time with her children' and to run a 'strategic communications company' The Strategic Counsel in Sydney.
Donna Staunton was Executive Director of Communications for CSIRO and also a member of its Executive Board. She was also on the board of climate-denier Institute of Public Affairs and on the Global Foundation
2006 Nov: Marilyn Chalkley, Manager of Media Liaison at the CSIRO replaced Donna Staunton who has left the organisation.
2007: Donna Staunton's "Strategic Counsel" website says:
Donna has been on the Board of the National Breast Cancer Centre (appointed by the Federal Liberal Government) and the NSW WorkCover Board (appointed by the State ALP Government). She has also sat on the Board of the Global Foundation and the Institute of Public Affairs.[The appointment by the NSW Labor Government to the NSW WorkCover Board was made virtually automatically to CEOs of the Tobacco Institute of Australia, and may have had something to do with the generous donations the tobacco industry gave to the State Labor Party in New South Wales.
The board position at the Institute of Public Affairs followed her from her CEO position at the Tobacco Institute of Australia to her Head of Corporate Affairs role at Philip Morris. When she resigned from Philip Morris, she remained as an IPA board member, while her PM replacement Eric Windholtz (another lawyer/lobbyist) gained a second board directorship alongsider her.)
2008 Sept: Donna Staunton is the CEO of HCIA — Hearing Care Industry Association (Sydney) The profile makes no mention of either her work for the tobacco industry or for her troubled role with the CSIRO.
