Thanks, Seamus, I didn’t even realise NZAE had a blog. Bill always has plenty to say on any topic so I’m glad to see him blogging. And you really didn’t miss anything by skipping my presentation but I’ll try to do something a bit more interesting next year!

@Eric Crampton

Sorry, Eric, I mistakenly thought Des was one of the ‘healthists’ you regularly refer to.

He has been blogging at the NZAE blog http://nzae.wordpress.com/. To be fair, the association hasn’t publicised it yet.

I will blog on the conference at some point soon. Unfortunately, I was chairing a session at the same time that Rauparaha was presenting and so am not in a position to return the compliment. Next year, I promise to attend your session! See you in Hamilton.

I like Des! His paper for ASH/SFC on tobacco social costs was honestly done: he first tabulated the fiscal costs, noted that there’s no way in hell that costs to the government or costs to other people exceed the excise tax take, then went on to add all the personal private costs of smoking as per his funder’s request.

Des and I have talked about going in jointly to tear up the MoH’s fraudulent figures on smoking costs. It could be a lot of fun.

I did have fun needling the ACC guy though. They really should be embarrassed about having commissioned that BERL report.

I trust I will have something to comment on for the next column.

Good to see there are live bloggers in Wellington again!
