Sinclair Davidson
Sinclair Davidson is the Dean of Research & Innovation at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
In April 2007 Davidson and Tim Wilson, a research fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs, lodged a complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission that Oxfam's support of fair trade coffee amounts to a breach of the Trade Practices Act provisions aginst misleading and deceptive conduct.

In May 2007 Davidson and Dr Alex Robson, a lecturer in economics at the Australian National University, challenged the view that the assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was sufficient to decide there was a need to make substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Claiming that there was a "lack of knowledge and understanding of climate change, it is not unreasonable for policy-makers to adopt a cautious approach to policy change. It is also not unreasonable for people to discount the hysterical commentary around climate change," they wrote. <ref>Sinclair Davidson and Alex Robson, "Hypothetical hysterics at 90 per cent", Geelong Advertiser, May 1, 2007.</ref?
