Head of Australian Medical Association says university should ‘reflect on the credibility’ of industry-funded studies

The Australian Medical Association has demanded the University of Sydney “read the room” and reconsider its decision to accept hundreds of thousands of dollars from the gambling industry, while the Greens want the money immediately returned.

But Dr Steve Robson, the president of the Australian Medical Association, did not accept that assurance and called on the university to reconsider the funding arrangement. “I’d be very concerned about industry funding of gambling research. This is exactly the issue we see with tobacco companies funding vaping research, big alcohol funding research, and fossil fuel ‘thinktanks.’”

The deputy Greens leader, Mehreen Faruqi, called on the university to return the money. She said the partnership was “a toxic feature of the broken corporate university model”.
