A counterpart in Australia made the point more starkly:There will still need to be the screamers on the outside chucking bricks to keep the pressure up. If we all said yep, we want to work with industry, and we’ll all be on advisory boards, and we’ll all take funding for research and for conferences and stuff, then we’re all going to be in the pocket of industry and there won’t be enough independent people keeping things honest. (Interview with Australian researcher, June 2011)

This perspective was perhaps best summed up by Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) CEO, Michael Moore . 2 Moore explained how he went about locking horns with Kate Carnell over public health on the back of years of similar experience serving as an independent Health Minister in the Liberal ACT government which she led:I’ve had this ongoing relationship with Kate for 20 years, where actually we’ve always both understood that conflict is part of getting our message through. And because we actually understand that, sometimes it’s actually quite useful. And in fact we’ve had in the past within the political sphere, when I was a Minister in her government but I was opposing something… we would actually discuss beforehand the way this sort of conflict was going to go. Generally, it went the way we had expected it to. So as far as the general public was concerned, there we were, having a very significant debate—and we did, we had a genuine difference of opinion. We may have looked like we were cross at each other or something but in fact it was quite orchestrated. (Interview with Michael Moore, April 2011)
