Random House’s Sir Ray Avery is New Zealand’s most trusted according to the 2011 Reader’s Digest poll
There’s a new leader in the annual Reader’s Digest Most Trusted list – and a trifecta for scientists in the top three – released in the July issue of Reader’s Digest New Zealand.
The seventh annual Reader’s Digest Trust Survey reveals the findings from a national poll conducted by a leading independent research company that reveals the people we believe in ... and those we don’t.
Rising from number 13 on the 2010 list, Sir Ray Avery; scientist, inventor, the 2010 New Zealander of the Year took out the top spot that Corporal Bill Apiata held for three years prior.
Avery, whose 2010 extraordinary autobiography, ‘Rebel was a Cause’, was an instant bestseller, was also knighted in this year’s New Year's Honours list for his services to philanthropy.

|  | Sir Ray is followed by Chief Science Advisor to the Prime Minister Sir
Peter Gluckman (44th in 2010) and Sir Paul Callaghan, physicist (40th in
2010). The three lead a very different top 10 to the results of last
year, with none of 2010’s top places retaining their ranks.
