Dishonesty in the Australian Bureau of Statistics

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Robin Rothfield spent most of his early professional years conducting censuses of agriculture in developing countries, culminating in the Fiji Census of Agriculture, which he published in 1978 as the FAO Regional Statistician.

He was employed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 1985 for 16 years but was dismissed in 2001. The reason for his dismissal was largely due to his calling on staff, in his capacity as Deputy Chair of the EEO sub-committee, to attend a rally in support of Australia sending troops to East Timor, a position ultimately agreed to by the Australian Government.

Dishonesty in the Australian Bureau of Statistics explores these events and sheds light on the circumstances surrounding his dismissal.
