CSIRO does "basic research", but depending on what department you are in, project terms are limited and projects are focused on finding a way out of the building. The projects I worked on were all on tight budgets and deadlines with the goal of finding a way to commercialize the research. That being said, I'm not a researcher and my job was finding/developing a commercialization path for existing research.
