The national science agency has reclaimed most of the $200,000 it overpaid part-time board member David Knox, but some tax and super payments are still outstanding.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the agency confirmed the overpayment resulted from “Mr Knox receiving payment for his CSIRO part-time board member position while he was also employed on a full-time basis by another Australian Government entity”.
