In short:
An award-winning, internationally acclaimed lichen scientist is set to lose his job managing the Tasmanian Herbarium, as the state government’s job cuts hit the science sector.
Active Tasmania, public transport compliance and librarians are also set to go, but the public sector union says the extent of the cuts are still being “hidden”.
What’s next?
The restructure plans, which will see 150 jobs go, are open for consultation for two weeks.
