What’s the scam with Victor Chang suspending, bagging then advertising Peter Macdonald?
MWM heard from readers wandering Sydney shopping malls that Victor Chang Cardiac Research had taken the brazen step of using a brochure promoting the image and words of the famous Professor Peter Macdonald to solicit donations from the public.
As we reported yesterday, Macdonald was banned from the Institute for seven weeks as an ‘investigation’ was carried out into a sarcastic comment he made about the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad at an off-duty meeting.

Even as they publish a slanderous statement against him and chastise him for exercising his right to free speech, it seems they have no qualms about using Macdonald for marketing purposes.
