Today was the PM's big announcement of science spending increases. TVNZ evening news captured Peter Gluckman and me in conversation What the viewers didn't hear was:"You call that hair loss? Have a feel of my pate mate"

That was a good one, Paul!
ReplyDeleteOf course, anyone who knows Peter would know that he would never have said such a thing. I think in truth he was expanding on his next plan for getting the PM to do more for science. Peter is an unusual man, but he has been hugely effective in lifting the profile of science with this government, largely because of his "insider position" with the National Party, his high degree of political "nous", his intelligence and his very forceful personality. I am very supportive of all his efforts, even if I acknowledge a slight difference in "style" between us.
