Auckland University wanting to hire a witch hunter

Auckland University has a three year role for a witch hunter.

The School of Population Health, based at the University of Auckland’s Tamaki Campus, is seeking to employ a Research Fellow as part of a project team investigating ways in which unhealthy commodity industries (alcohol, tobacco, gambling and food) influence public policy.

So a job whose purpose it is to demonise companies for wanting a say in how they are regulated. And all taxpayer funded as an academic research exercise.

I love how food is included as an unhealthy commodity!

Anyway a three year job to write a paper whose conclusions are easy to predict now.
