Considering how messed up the patent system can get, it's really confusing how this one instance is where they decide to get worked up about. At least CSIRO seems to do legitimate research in the area, and it is not hunting down small scale players to make them pay up for questionable patents. This is the really abusive part of current patent law, not which research org or corporation gets "blessed" by the patent office.
