Apparently he claimed co-authorship of some books, where he contributed one article out of 25 and took no part in developing the project.
But the publishers do not see his role that way. The name Kevin Andrews is not on the title pages. The publishers credit other authors and editors with assembling these collections. Mr Andrews appears to have done no more than contribute one paper to each — he does not even have top billing.
Over the past week, the Immigration Minister he has been scathing about irregularities discovered in the CV of Dr Mohamed Haneef's former Gold Coast colleague Dr Mohammed Asif Ali. The doctor is reported to have left the country and lost his job for exaggerating his employment in India by three months.
Publishers say they would regard Mr Andrews as merely a contributor to
these collections. The definition of authorship in the Vancouver Protocol cited
by academic bodies such as the National Health and Medical Research Council
requires, at a minimum, "substantial participation (in) conception and design …
drafting … and final approval of the version to be published".
Strong Candidate for Wanker Du Jour
Thanks Ken from Road to Surfdom.





5 got something to say:
I'm confused. "Hypocrit" link points to the test.
I will fix that. Pronto. Thanks.
Colin,
another correction for you - "du jour" means "of the day" - I am sure that Kevin has had this condition for much longer than that :)
Cheers, Andrew

Mega Wanker Du Jour?
Classic. I hadn't really heard of him until Haneef, but he is a complete fruitcake. Howard seems to surround himself with some of the wackyist. Come on Australia. Get rid of them.
