Peter Davis is sucking heavily on the public tit, along with the- Marsden Fund judges net $21m.
"You should leave open the possibility that the reason I am getting these grants is not because I am involved in the assessment process but because I am writing good applications," said Davis.
Now I used to think that Davis was off limits. I thought he was a full time paid academic employee. Now it seems to me that he is abusing his position along with a number of those other panelists. Getting a $600,000 grant over 3 years is only one of his activities. This is corruption. Not theft like the election funds but the soft peddling of influence.
And check out his reasoning. Not "I do good science", but "I write good applications". With the name Peter Davis - front and centre.
Isnot that what the directors of Feltex did? Write a real good prospectus which actually was a crock full of shit?
