Having worked in both Australia (Deakin Univ.) and New Zealand (Victoria Univ. of Wellington) , and having received an Australian Research Council Grant and a Grant from the New Zealand Reserve Bank for work on Harrod, I am more than upset by what is going on in "Oz". But perhaps "Dr. Brett" is the wrong "bloke" to contact. If I am not mistaken, Brian Pink has been Australian Statistician (Head of the ABS) since March 2007, and as Brett's boss, should be the address for any and all protest over removing HET and ECHistory from the Economics Research Classification. In addition, as the Nobel Committee has already awarded the Prize to Economic Historians, perhaps both the Committee and those interested Prize Winners should be asked to write not only Brian Pink, but the Prime Minister of Australia himself, as Brett is not only a danger to the Economics profession, but to the objectivity and reputation of the ABS itself....
