Publisher's Synopsis
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 dismissed in in 2001. The reason for his dismissal was largely due his calling on staff, in his capacity of 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.
