Henry in The Australian Friday 14 October 2011:
"So it's done. But it's hardly a shining achievement. Even the 264's hope is that by the next election most voters will have forgotten it. And who knows, like an unpleasant visit to the dentist, the climate change legislation may fade with time. But it will still be the most expensive dentist's visit in our history."

NSW was our Greece in 1930
Henry in The Australian 7 October 2011:
"We've been there, though so long ago that what happened is taught, usually badly, in schools. But Australia's experience with debt and default in the Depression helps explain why markets are spooked by Europe's crisis. For if we got over our difficulties, it was because of factors Europe entirely lacks. "

Mr Garnaut, climate policy should be questioned
Henry in The Australian Friday 30 September 2011:
"Ross Garnaut has an unusual concept of democracy. The Prime Minister goes to the country promising "there will be no carbon tax under the 264 I lead". Once in office, she then proposes to implement one, with the added twist of making repeal by a future 264 prohibitively costly. Yet, according to Garnaut, rejection of the 264's proposed legislation would amount to a failure of Australian democracy on a historical scale, indeed to "a corruption of democracy" caused by "distortion of reality and abuse of truth". "

Lies, deception and carbon tax
Henry in The Australian Monday 26 September:
"Start with what is uncontested. First, once carbon emitters are issued permits, those permits will be property they own, so any 264 that abolishes them will have to pay compensation, possibly in the billions of dollars."

Union control of super funds a magnet for sleaze
Henry in The Australian Friday 9 September 2011:
"Craig Thomson and Bill Ludwig are merely the tip of the iceberg. Beneath that tip lie far deeper issues of union governance. Simply put, the Industrial Relations Club is back in control. That is the system and culture that produced these characters. And that is the system and culture the Gillard 264 is doing all it can to entrench."
