And no one checked not necessarily because they were lazy or incompetent, tho some obviously were, but because Arndt is *good talent*, and it’s difficult to overstate how prized that is. (cont)

People who’re willing to turn up and say the kinds of things Arndt says are always going to be hugely insulated from scrutiny or consequences because they’re seen as such valuable and rare assets, and in a way they are. Both for content and for pushing a certain world view (cont)

I guess what I’m saying is that if you want to get on a good grift, Arndt shows that you could do a lot worse than her chosen path. And if you can do it without outright lying about qualifications (or even if you do, probably), you’re probably going to have a job for life.

There isn't someone on morning TV who's job it is check that the person is who they say they are? Especially doctors? Seems like having the relevant authorities on speed dial would work. Appeal to authority gets a real leg up when no one checks if they really are an authority.

You don't even need speed dial. The AHPR is available on-line 24/7

The general position on Arndt : "She says what I want her to say - she must be smart!"

Sort of like ‘journalist’ Andrew Bolt

Yes but to give her an order of Australia. Really? Still no one checked?? My aunt was given an order as one of the first female lawyers and for her service to family law. Pretty sure they checked she had a law degree.

I have seen can't say followed Bettina Arndt since the mid 70s when she was shilling her Forum magazine, at that time psychologists were not so highly regulated in terms of qualifying so having studied psychology she could claim to be one but that was then.
-
I’m not sure that ‘that was then’. I graduated with a psych degree at about the same time, and the rules were INCREDIBLY clear about which quals you needed to use which titles. Nobody could ever mistakenly believe they were a Clin Psych, then or now
